B
CVS carries a much higher risk of spontaneous pregnancy loss than amniocentesis. CVS cannot determine the presence of neural tube defects.CVS was designed to be used during the first trimester; amniocentesis is done preferably during the second and third trimester after the uterus has risen up from inside the pelvis. CVS has a much shorter interval between test performance and availability of results when compared to amniocentesis.
