We report a series of 350 patients submitted to transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (CVS). A technique using two ultrasound‐guided needles and a suction pump was used. In most cases, the procedure was performed between 9 and 13 weeks. Twenty‐one pregnancies were selectively terminated; nine spontaneous abortions followed the procedure and one fetal loss after 28 weeks was recorded; 153 pregnancies are in progress and 169 delivered fetuses are alive and well. Transabdominal biopsy is a feasible and effective technique for CVS.
