Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) test

Dr. Dan Valsky, director of the Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound Unit at Hadassah Mount Scopus, explains about the chorionic villus sampling (CVS) test, an invasive test performed between weeks 11 and 14 of pregnancy. The main purpose of the test is to take a sample from the placental tissue for genetic testing, which will help identify various genetic changes in the fetus. The test is performed by inserting a special tiny catheter into the placenta through the abdomen or the vagina, depending on the location of the placenta, and then taking a sample for genetic analysis. Despite the low risks involved in this test, such as water breaking, bleeding, or infection, it allows for early detection of potential genetic abnormalities.
