Transabdominal and transcervical chorionic villus sampling (CVS) methods were equally effective. However, the transcervical approach yielded significantly higher quality villi samples for genetic testing.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Prenatal Diagnostics
  • Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a crucial first-trimester prenatal diagnostic technique.
  • Accurate and sufficient tissue acquisition is vital for reliable genetic analysis.
  • Comparing different CVS methods is essential for optimizing sample quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of transabdominal versus transcervical chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
  • To evaluate the impact of sampling route on the quantity and quality of obtained villi.
  • To determine if placental position influences CVS success rates.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty anaesthetized patients undergoing therapeutic abortion provided informed consent.
  • Chorionic villus sampling was performed sequentially using both transabdominal and transcervical routes.

  • Villi weight and quality were assessed post-procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • Both transabdominal and transcervical CVS methods demonstrated equal success in obtaining villi.
    • The transcervical route was significantly superior in obtaining chorionic villi exceeding 10 mg (chi 2 13.92, P < 0.001).
    • Placental position did not impact villus recovery for either method.

    Conclusions:

    • The transcervical approach offers an advantage for obtaining higher quality villi samples in CVS.
    • This finding supports the transcervical route for enhanced prenatal genetic testing accuracy.
    • Method choice should consider maximizing tissue yield and quality for diagnostic purposes.
