Elective cytogenetic amniocentesis in the third trimester for pregnancies with high risk factors

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to report the findings in 14 women with extremely high risk (‘precious’) pregnancies, 5 of whom had twins, who underwent elective third‐trimester cytogenetic amniocentesis. There were no procedure‐related complications, and all newborns weighed more than 2000 g and showed normal development. This practice is accepted under Israeli law and our institutional policy. This preliminary work does not attempt to answer the moral and ethical questions surrounding the use of third (vers… Show more

“…When a pregnancy occurred, the prenatal diagnosis was reevaluated for the accuracy of PGD in each situation (the test performed, the number of blastomeres analyzed, and the results) and for the genetic pathology (ultrasonographic follow-up reliable or not). In all cases, we attempted to offer amniocentesis in the third trimester to reduce pregnancy loss because we believe that third trimester amniocentesis may be an option to avoid fetal loss in selected cases (53), with a low rate of obstetrical and neonatal complications when the expected risk is low. This alternative strategy may provide a form of late reassurance for women in countries such as France where legislation permits late termination of pregnancies for severe fetal anomalies.…”

“…3 Pregnancies conceived via assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are sometimes considered 'precious' because of related difficulty in conception. 4,5 The rate of achieving a pregnancy from one assisted reproductive cycle is approximately 23%, and the live birth rate per assisted reproductive cycle is estimated to be 17%. 6,7 Because of the modest success rate, many patients require multiple cycles before having a healthy baby, and some will never have a successful outcome.…”

“…La recherche des complications des amniocentèses tardives a été peu évaluée dans la littérature avec seulement cinq études publiées [9][10][11][12][13] et une seule, avec un effectif de trois patientes, ayant comme indication la réalisation d'un caryotype [8]. Dans les autres études, les indications des amniocentèses étaient la recherche de la maturation pulmonaire foetale [10][11][12][13] ou le bilan d'une anomalie échographique.…”

“…Hodor et al [13] ont réalisé une étude comparative cas témoin et n'ont pas retrouvés d'augmentation du nombre de complications liées au geste dans les 48 premières heures (pas de différences sur le taux de césarienne en urgence, d'hématome rétropla-centaire, de rupture prématurée des membranes, de score d'Apgar inférieure à sept à cinq minutes ou du nombre de décès périnataux). Enfin, Shalev et al [9] ont réalisés des amniocentèses tardives sur 14 grossesses dites « précieuses » (âge maternel supérieur à 41 ans, longue période de stéri-lité, grossesse multiple avec foeticide sélectif au premier trimestre) et aucune complication ne fut rapportée.…”
