摘 要:Background The true risk of choronic villus sampling (C VS) is poorly defined. The objective of this study was to review the clinical o utcome of transabdominal CVS performed in a university teaching unit, with an em phasis on the complication rate. Methods A comprehensive audit database was maintained for 1351 pregnant women, including 17 sets of twin pregnancies, who had a CVS. Details a nd outcome of all CVSs made in the unit between May 1996 and May 2004 were revie wed. All CVSs were performed by one of 5 operators using the identical techniqu es. Results All procedures were performed transabdominally. A tota l of 1355 CVSs were performed because there were 4 dichorionic twin pregnancies which required 2 punctures. The mean gestation at CVS was (11.8±0.7) weeks, and 97.3% of the procedures were performed between 11 and 13 completed weeks. The majority (96.2%) required only 1 puncture to achieve correct needle placeme nt. The procedure failed to obtain an adequate sample in 4 subjects (0.30%). A total of 1351 chromosomal studies were requested and there was 1 case (0.07%) of culture failure. The results of chromosomal studies were available within 1 4 days in 36.7% of the cases and within 21 days in 94.0%. Overall, 77 chromos omal abnormalities (5.7%) and 5 cases of thalassemia major were detected. Preg nancy outcome was unknown in only 13 singleton subjects (0.96%). In the remain ing 1355 fetuses, there were 76 pregnancy terminations (5.56%), 10 fetal losses with obvious obstetric causes (0.73%), and 21 potentially procedure-relat ed fetal losses (1.54%). In the last group, the majority had one or more co-e xisting obstetric complications. The background fetal loss rate for pregnancies at similar gestational age in the unit was about 0.8%. Therefore, the procedu re-related fetal loss rate was estimated to be at the maximum of 0.74%. Conclusions In experienced hands, first trimester transabdomina l CVS is an accurate and safe invasive prenatal diagnostic procedur
