Increased Cell-Free Fetal DNA Fraction in the First Trimester: A Sign of Abnormally Invasive Placenta?

Abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) is one of the most dangerous conditions associated with pregnancy, because it may cause severe peripartum hemorrhage resulting in acute maternal morbidity (i. e., due to the need for multiple blood transfusions, hysterectomy, uterine artery embolization, uterine balloon or uterine compression sutures or transfer to ICU) [1].
