Medical genetics: advances in brief: Randomised study of risk of fetal loss related to early amniocentesis versus chorionic villus sampling

Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling

Comparison of Complications of Chorionic Villus Sampling and Amniocentesis

Fetal loss rate after chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis: an 11-year national registry study.

OBJECTIVE To assess the fetal loss rate following amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). METHODS This was a national registry-based cohort study, including all singleton pregnant women who had an amniocentesis (n = 32 852) or CVS (n = 31 355) in Denmark between 1996 and 2006. Personal registration numbers of women having had an amniocentesis or a CVS were retrieved from the Danish...

Procedure-related complications after genetic amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.

PURPOSE Amniocentesis (AC) and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) play an important role in the diagnosis of genetic anomalies. The aim of this study was to evaluate presentable numbers of procedure-related complications of genetic interventions in a tertiary referral hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pregnancy outcome of women who underwent genetic AC or CVS during 2003-2010 at the Department...

Comparison of Complications of Chorionic Villus Sampling and Amniocentesis

BACKGROUND A significant number of pregnancies are associated with the cytogenetic abnormalities of the fetus. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are procedures used for prenatal genetic diagnosis. In this study, we compare the safety and complications of mid-trimester amniocentesis and transabdominal CVS. MATERIALS AND METHODS This analytic cross-sectional study was performed ...
