  • Title: Early prenatal diagnosis: the first 100 cases of chorionic villus sampling at Ochsner Foundation Hospital.
    Author: Robichaux AG, Superneau DW, Merritt CR, Varela M.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 1993 Jul; 145(7):313-4. PubMed ID: 8228538.
    Abstract:
    Chorionic villus sampling is an exciting addition to prenatal diagnosis. With this procedure, accomplished quickly and with minimal discomfort at 9 to 11 weeks of pregnancy, information can be obtained about the fetal chromosomal complement. In addition, the fetus can be tested for a variety of disorders, such as sickle-cell disease, Tay-Sachs, and cystic fibrosis. The majority of fetal studies are normal, and such early prenatal testing provides relief of anxiety and opportunity for early maternal-fetal bonding.
