Comparison of Complications of Chorionic Villus Sampling and Amniocentesis

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 ...

Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling

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...

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling for prenatal diagnosis.

BACKGROUND A major disadvantage of second trimester amniocentesis is that the result is usually available only after 18 weeks' gestation. Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and early amniocentesis can be done between 9 and 14 weeks and offer an earlier alternative. OBJECTIVES The objective was to assess comparative safety and accuracy of second trimester amniocentesis, early amniocentesis, trans...
