Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)

CVS allows first-trimester evaluation of the fetal cells for genetic disease. Under ultrasound guidance from 10 to 13 weeks gestation, either a thin tube is passed through the cervix or a needle is passed through the abdomen into the placenta to obtain a small tissue sample. Results are often available within a week.
