A new transvaginal chorionic needle aspiration technique enables prenatal diagnosis via chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in all patients, overcoming anatomical challenges. This method ensures CVS is possible for nearly every woman, regardless of uterine or placental positioning.

Area of Science:

  • Prenatal Diagnosis
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a standard prenatal diagnostic method.
  • Conventional transcervical and transabdominal CVS approaches face limitations due to patient-specific anatomical variations.
  • These limitations can render CVS impossible in a subset of pregnant individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel transvaginal chorionic needle aspiration technique for CVS.
  • To overcome the limitations of conventional CVS methods in cases with difficult anatomy.
  • To expand the applicability of prenatal diagnosis through CVS to all women.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a transvaginal chorionic needle aspiration technique.

  • Guidance of the needle aspiration using an intravaginal ultrasound probe.
  • Application of the technique in patients where conventional CVS was not feasible.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful chorionic villus biopsy was achieved in 15 patients using the transvaginal method.
    • The novel technique circumvented difficulties encountered with transcervical and transabdominal CVS.
    • This approach demonstrated efficacy in patients with challenging uterine or placental anatomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Transvaginal chorionic needle aspiration guided by intravaginal ultrasound is a viable alternative for CVS.
    • This technique significantly broadens the accessibility of CVS for prenatal diagnosis.
    • The method holds potential for earlier gestational age chorionic sampling and may be beneficial for diverse patient anatomies.
