Transvaginal amniotic puncture for cytogenetic evaluation of missed abortions.
Transvaginal amniotic puncture (TAP) was performed on 20 consecutive missed abortions immediately prior to dilatation and evacuation and the cytogenetic results compared. The information received from products of conception (POC) and TAP was in concordance in only 5 of 20 (25%) cases. Tissue obtained from POC yielded cells in all instances. However, only 3 of 20 POC samples yielded findings other than normal female. In contrast, 92.8% of the conclusive diagnoses would have been achieved by TAP alone. These data strongly suggest that TAP is superior to POC for accurate cytogenetic assessment of missed abortion and should lead to a reevaluation of our current understanding and management of pregnancy loss.
