37 Varner, Michael W.; Hatasaka, Harry H.Recurrent pregnancy loss.Recurrent pregnancy loss is a frustrating clinical dilemma for both patients and physicians because, in most cases, causes are nebulous and few treatments with proven benefit can be offered. Involved, expensive tests have frequently been proposed and their use has often filtered into clinical practi...Recurrent Pregnancy Loss; Uterus/abnormalities; Chromosome Disorders; Abortion, Habitual1994-06
38 Varner, Michael W.Reduction in amniocentesis risks using a real-time needle guide procedure.Rates of complications associated with a second trimester genetic amniocentesis were studied in 918 patients, and complete infant follow-up was obtained.
