Intrauterine transfusion via umbilical vein in severe Rh isoimmunization.

Abstract
Although the widespread use of anti-D immune globulin has dramatically reduced the incidence of Rh isoimmunization, an occasional pregnant patient becomes a candidate for intrauterine transfusion because of sensitization to Rh antigens or irregular red blood cell antigens. Current methods of ultrasonography provide needle guidance to the umbilical vein, permitting fetal intravascular transfusion. We have reported a case involving five separate intrauterine transfusions via the umbilical vein.
