CVS cardiovascular system; chorionic villus sampling.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) A procedure similar to amniocentesis, except that cells are taken from the chorionic membrane for testing. These cells, called chorionic villus cells, eventually become the placenta. The samples are collected either through the abdomen, as in amnio, or through the vagina. CVS can be done earlier in the pregnancy than amnio, but carries a somewhat higher risk. Mentioned in: Amniocentesis, Cri Du Chat Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, Nail-Patella Syndrome, Patau Syndrome, Prenatal Surgery, Retinoblastoma, Von Willebrand Disease
