Fetal Intervention - Establishing Chromosomal Normalcy

The following are the diagnostic and therapeutic fetal intervention procedures done at Care IVF.

• Amniocentesis
• Chorionic villus sampling
• Cordocentesis
• Selective fetal reduction
• Intrauterine transfusion (IUT)

The most common indication to perform them is to establish chromosomal normalcy in suspected high risk cases in combined first trimester screening and in cases of high nuchal translucency or detected structural abnormalities in foetus.

The couple is subjected to extensive pre-test and post-test genetic counselling by an experienced geneticist to enable them understand the implications of test.
