Abstract
Summary. A cannula attached to a syringe was passed through the cervical canal into the uterine cavity in an attempt to aspirate chorionic villi just before termination of a first trimester pregnancy in 82 patients. Chorionic villi were obtained from 40% of these patients. In view of the value of this technique for the first trimester diagnosis of genetic disorder, development of the technique and further trials of transcervical aspiration of chorionic villi would seem warranted.Keywords
