Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) can be divided into placenta accrete, placenta increta and placenta percreta. It is associated with high parity, multifetal gestation, advanced maternal age, assisted reproductive technologies, placenta previa, and more importantly a history of caesarean section or uterine surgery. Globally, the incidence of placenta accrete has increased and seems to be in parallel with the increasing rate of caesarean section delivery.Despite rapidly evolving diagnostic imaging, and growing of surgical expertise, morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) remains an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially related with life-threatening postpartum haemorrhage. Although the choice of treatment for placenta accrete is puerperal hysterectomy, this procedure itself involves a greater risk of intra-operative haemorrhage.Elective caesarean hysterectomy using prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery balloon occlusion offer an interesting approach which can minimize the risk of intra-operative haemorrhage. However, our case report describes the case of a 28-year old Gravida 3 Para 2 morbidly obese parturient diagnosed to have placenta previa type 3 posterior with accrete who experienced a complication of life threatening massive bleeding post-operatively after an elective caesarean hysterectomy using a prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery balloon occlusion intra-operatively.

ABSTRACTBackground: The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of emergency bilateral internal iliac ligation in intractable postpartum hemorrhage.Methods: A retrospective study was done on 33 women who have undergone emergency bilateral internal iliac ligation in obstetrics haemorrhage.Results: In all of 33 women under this study bilateral internal iliac ligation was performed in emergency. (11) of the cases were of atonic PPH, placenta previa (8), uterine rapture (7), extension of C-section scar (3), vaginal and cervical laceration (3) and uterine perforation (1). hysterectomy was not performed in any of the cases. internal iliac artery was injured in one case during the procedure and was managed successfully but two patients died during and after the BIIL.Conclusions: BIIL is an effective, less time consuming and life-saving procedure in intractable obstetrics hemorrhage if early decision is taken and performed by practiced surgeons.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of internal iliac artery(IIA) balloon occlusion in patients with pernicious placenta previa coexisting with placenta accreta. Background: Pernicious placenta previa is frequently reported to be complicated with placenta accreta, which contributes to serious consequences such as severe obstetric postpartum hemorrhage or even maternal mortality. Methods: Fifty-eight pernicious placenta previa patients complicated with placenta accreta were retrospectively reviewed. The ballon group consisted of 23 patients, who underwent a caesarean delivery with internal iliac artery occlusion. 35 patients were in the control group, who had a standard caesarean delivery. The primary outcomes were estimated blood loss (EBL), cesarean hysterectomy, and blood transferring volume. The secondary outcomes were operating time, intraoperative hemostatic approaches, surgical complications, balloon catheter–related complications, length of maternal stay, cost of hospitalization, and neonatal outcomes.Results: No difference was observed in estimated blood loss (EBL), blood transferring percentages and volume, additional measures to secure hemostasis , surgical complications, hospital stay postoperatively and newborn outcomes. More than 40% of the balloon group underwent hysterectomy because of uncontrollable postpartum bleeding (10[43.48%] vs. 11[31.43%],P=0.350).Complications related to occlusion of IIA did not occur.The duration of the surgery of the balloon group was significantly longer than that of the control group(123.52 min±74.76 versus 89.17±48.68,P=0.038), and the total hospitalization cost was also significantly higher than that of the control group(45116.67±9358.67 yuan versus 30615.41±11587.44yuan,P=0.000).Conclusion: IIA balloon occlusion in patients with pernicious placenta previa coexisting with placenta accreta did not reduce the hysterectomy rate during cesarean section, nor did it reduce blood loss and blood transfusion, but it prolonged the duration of the surgery and increased the total cost.

Objective: We evaluated the risk factors for massive bleeding based on angiographic findings in patients with placenta previa and accreta who underwent balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery (BOIA) during cesarean section. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis using the clinical records of 42 patients with placenta previa and accreta who underwent BOIA during cesarean section between 2006 and 2017 in Gunma university hospital. We reviewed incidence of collateral arteries to the uterus on the initial aortography. We evaluated the visualization of the ovarian artery arising directly from the abdominal aorta, round ligament artery arising from the external iliac artery/inferior epigastric artery, and the iliolumbar artery. In addition, the clinical characteristics were reviewed. Patients with an estimated blood loss during delivery of >2500 ml, >4 packed red blood cell transfusions, uterine artery embolization after delivery, or hysterectomy were defined as the massive bleeding group. We compared between the massive and non-massive bleeding groups. Results: 20 patients (48%) had a massive bleeding. No procedure-related severe complications were observed. The massive and non-massive bleeding groups differed in terms of operation time (p < 0.001), hysterectomy (p < 0.001), post-operative hospital stay (p < 0.05), and visualization of round ligament arteries to the uterus [15/20 (75%) patients, p < 0.01]. Conclusion: The incidence of collateral blood supply from a round ligament artery to the uterus may be a risk factor for massive bleeding in patients with placenta previa and accreta who have undergone BOIA during cesarean section. Advances in knowledge: Angiographic visualization of collateral circulation from the round ligament artery to the uterus may be a risk factor for massive bleeding in patients with placenta previa and accreta who have undergone BOIA during cesarean section.
