Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)

from the 12th week of pregnancy
Objective:
  • Clarification of a possible chromosomal change – after conspicuous Screening 12 or in case of increased risk for familial hereditary genetic diseases
Plazentapunktion (Chorionzotten-Biopsie)

We are one of the few prenatal diagnostic centers in Austria that offer invasive diagnostics as early as the 12th week of pregnancy.

During the chorionic villus biopsy, tissue is removed from the placenta through the abdominal wall using a puncture needle – under constant ultrasound monitoring. The tissue is examined for chromosomal changes. According to recent studies, the risk of miscarriage in prenatal diagnostic centers is 0.25% percent.

  • First results are available approximately 24-72 hours after the examination.

We look forward to hearing from you!
