Chorionic villus sampling (CVS)

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) can be done in one of two ways. In transcervical CVS (shown on left), the doctor inserts a tube in through the vagina to take the sample of placenta, which is also called the "chorionic villus. " � In transabdominal CVS (shown on right), the doctor inserts a needle straight into the belly. In both cases, the doctor uses ultrasound images to guide where the tube or needle goes.
