Maternal blood clot patch therapy: A model for postamniocentesis amniorrhea, ,

Persistent amniorrhea and extraamniotic fluid collection was observed after amniocentesis. After the drainage of extraamniotic fluid, maternal blood was given under ultrasonographic guidance to produce a clot patch. Amniorrhea was controlled within 12 hours and a healthy baby was delivered at term. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1997;177:1535-6.)
