The sample is studied by examining the DNA, enzymes and chromosomes. Chorionic Villus Sampling does not detect all abnormalities, and the procedure can be risky. Complications of Chorionic Villus Sampling include, but are not limited to, rupture of the amniotic membrane, miscarriage, infection and bleeding. If any of these occurs you should contact your doctor. Additionally, it is possible that your doctor may have performed the Chorionic Villus Sampling improperly.
