Methods: Late chorionic villus sampling under ultrasound guidance was carried out in prospective monocentric cohort study of 7859 (91.4%) cases in the second trimester and 700 (8.6%) cases in the third trimester of pregnancy. Out of 8599 late CVS cases, 1476 (17.2%) were performed because of suspicious ultrasonographic findings. Results: In 43 patients (0.50%), complications were found between sampling and delivery. There were only 12 (0.15%) spontaneous abortions four to six weeks after late CVS (before 28 weeks). We found 190 (2.3%) chromosomal abnormalities. In the group with suspicious ultrasonographic findings, comparing 1476 cases, we found significant oligohydramnios in 375 (25.4%), significant polyhydramnios in 197 (13.3%) and chromosomal abnormalities in 125 (8.5%) cases. Among the 190 patients with chromosomal abnormalities, ultrasonographic findings were detected in 98 (49.2%) after the 22th week of pregnancy. Conclusions: Late CVS is a safe method of invasive prenatal diagnosis with lower spontaneous abortions rate (0.15%). This method, applicable after 13 weeks of gestation, offers a more flexible approach to invasive prenatal diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities, in very specialized fetal-maternal centres for this method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes16080860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]],"date-time":"2025-07-24T07:54:26Z","timestamp":1753343666000},"page":"860","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Accuracy and Safety of Late Chorionic Villus Sampling in High-Risk Pregnancies in 8599 Cases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Petra","family":"Podobnik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Podobnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Bertovic-Zunec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Igor","family":"Lon\u010dar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristijan","family":"Kurdija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D\u017eenis","family":"Jel\u010di\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zlata","family":"Srebrenikovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sveti Duh 112, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"38","article-title":"Diagnosis of hydatiform mole by transabdominal placental biopsy","volume":"96","author":"Alvarez","year":"1960","journal-title":"Am.
