title: [Fetomaternal alloimmunization: role of cordocentesis].
abstract: Twenty one pregnancies complicated by alloimmunization were managed by the use of intravascular method on an outpatient basis. One group was made of 9 women having had at least one pregnancy with a severely affected fetus. The other group was composed of 12 women without a previously affected infant; in 5 cases a situation at risk, either a transfusion (4 cases) or a severe obstetrical hemorrhage (1 case), was evidenced. Knowledge of fetal blood type (2 cases) and hematocrit determination obtained by fetal blood sampling allowed treatment individualized to the specific needs of each patient. In total 59 cordocenteses were performed, including 19 intrauterine transfusions.
