    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Transcervical chorionic villi sampling (CVS) is crucial for early prenatal diagnosis.
    • Existing methods for CVS can have limitations in ease of use and success rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel brush implement for transcervical chorionic villi collection.
    • To determine the efficacy, safety, and optimal timing for this new CVS technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A brush delivered via a metal introducer and cannula set was used for CVS.
    • Ultrasound guidance was employed for implement identification and procedure monitoring.
    • Collection rates and complication incidence were recorded in 83 patients.

    Main Results:

    • The brush implement was easy to use and clearly visualized with ultrasound.
    • Initial single-attempt collection rate was 65%, improving to 84% with practice.
    • Adequate diagnostic material (15 mg wet weight) was obtained in a single sampling.
    • No gestation sac perforations occurred; minor bleeding was the only complication.

    Conclusions:

    • The brush implement is a viable alternative for transcervical chorionic villi sampling.
    • The technique demonstrates high success rates and a low complication profile.
    • Further investigation is warranted to explore its clinical applications in prenatal diagnostics.
