    Area of Science:

    • Maternal-fetal medicine
    • Hematology
    • Prenatal diagnostics

    Background:

    • Severe congenital bleeding disorders pose significant risks to newborns.
    • Prenatal diagnosis is crucial for managing these conditions.
    • Fetoscopy offers a method for direct fetal blood sampling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the feasibility and safety of fetal blood sampling using fetoscopy.
    • To assess complications associated with fetoscopy in pregnancies at risk for bleeding disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Fetoscopy was utilized for fetal blood sampling in three fetuses.
    • Cases involved two fetuses at risk for hemophilia A and one for von Willebrand's disease.
    • A review of published reports on fetoscopy complications was conducted.

    Main Results:

    • Fetal blood sampling was successfully performed in all three cases.
    • Among approximately 100 pregnancies continuing after fetoscopy, five miscarriages were reported.
    • No other serious complications were documented in the reviewed literature.

    Conclusions:

    • Fetoscopy is a viable technique for fetal blood sampling in high-risk pregnancies.
    • The procedure appears to have a low rate of serious complications.
    • Further data supports the safety profile of fetoscopy in managing congenital bleeding disorders.
