Second-trimester amniocentesis vs. chorionic villus sampling for prenatal diagnosis in multiple gestations

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2002
Objective: To study the impact of invasive procedures for prenatal diagnosis on multiple pregnancies and compare first-trimester chorionic villus sampling with second-trimester amniocentesis.

Chorionic Villus Sampling

Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 1986
Chorionic villus sampling in the first trimester of pregnancy has the potential to become a major tool in the prenatal diagnosis and therapy of genetic disorders. Villus samples can be used for cytogenetic and biochemical studies as well as DNA analysis.

Chorionic Villus Sampling

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988
To the Editor.— The study by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development on chorionic villus sampling omits one significant consideration. 1 Diagnostic information that indicates a genetic disorder places the affected fetus at high risk of an induced abortion. What is safe for the mother may portend ill for the unborn.

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
Amniocentesis performed at 16 to 18 weeks' gestation has been the gold standard approach for prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis. Over the past few years, large collaborative studies on chorionic villus sampling have confirmed the safety and efficacy of chorionic villus sampling as a viable alternative for women seeking prenatal diagnosis.

Transabdominal Chorionic Villus Sampling

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1988
EDITORIAL COMMENT: Chorion villus sampling is likely to replace genetic amniocentes'is in many patients mainly because the procedure can be performed so much earlier in pregnancy (8–12 weeks rather than 16–17 weeks) when the safety of termination of pregnancy, should this be required, is greater.

TRANSABDOMINAL CHORIONIC VILLUS SAMPLING

The Lancet, 1986
Transabdominal chorionic villus sampling, carried out with a fine-bore needle and cannula under ultrasound guidance, was as successful as transcervical aspiration but avoided the risks of bacterial contamination associated with the latter technique. The transabdominal procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia, and multiple samples can be ...

Chorionic villus sampling

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) has the great advantage over mid-trimester amniocentesis of producing early results. Moreover, rapid analytic techniques have significantly reduced the waiting time between sampling and diagnosis, whereas progress in recombinant DNA technology and human gene mapping has led to an increase in the range of conditions it ...

Transvaginal chorionic villus sampling

Prenatal Diagnosis, 1990
AbstractChorionic villus sampling (CVS) with either transcervical catheters or transabdominal needles is a widely‐accepted method for prenatal diagnosis. However, there exists a small subset of patients in whom sampling is difficult or impossible with either route because of individual anatomic variations.
