OP01.24: Feasibility, accuracy and safety of late chorionic villus sampling: a report of 5,000 cases

Feasibility and safety of transabdominal chorionic villus sampling.

BACKGROUND Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is the technique of choice for prenatal diagnosis prior to 12 weeks gestation. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility, and pattern of complications following first trimester Trans-abdominal Chorionic Villus Sampling (TA-CVS). METHODS This was a descriptive study conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department Military Hos...

Comparison of Complications of Chorionic Villus Sampling and Amniocentesis

Chorionic villus sampling

Chorionic villus sampling has gained importance as a tool for early cytogenetic diagnosis with a shift toward first trimester screening. First trimester screening using nuchal translucency and biomarkers is effective for screening. Chorionic villus sampling generally is performed at 10-12 weeks by either the transcervical or transabdominal approach. There are two methods of analysis; the direct...

Chorionic Villus Sampling

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a test used for prenatal diagnosis [5]. Safe to perform at an earlier stage in pregnancy [6] than amniocentesis, CVS is another invasive prenatal diagnostic test that can be performed as early as ten weeks after the woman?s last menstrual cycle. While this test does carry some risks, it is generally very effective at predicting heritable diseases during or soo...
