The authors report 8 diagnostic cordocentesis performed at the end of the first trimester. The indication was thalassemia (5 cases) and karyotyping (3 cases). The technique requires that the operator holds both the probe and the needle (25 G X 90 mm); the fetal blood sample ranged between 0.25 and 0.35 cc, sufficient in all cases for the diagnosis. 1 pregnancy was terminated on the basis of the diagnostic result; no complications reported at a 3-weeks follow-up in the remaining 7 patients. The first trimester cordocentesis offers several advantages if compared to CVS, especially for thalassemia prenatal diagnosis; furthermore it opens new perspectives for intrauterine transplantations. More experience is required to assess the safety of the procedure.
