Background: Placenta accreta spectrum is one of the most serious complications of placenta previa and is frequently associated with severe obstetric hemorrhage usually necessitating hysterectomy. The management of placenta accrete spectrum will be discussed here and is essentially the same. The following discussion of management of placenta accreta spectrum applies to all depths of placental invasion. Incidence: In 1950 placentaaccreta was rare, occurring 1 in 30.000 deliveries in the United States. Duringbetween 2008 and 2011 in a cohort of over 115.000 deliveries in 25 hospitals in the United States reaching 1 in 731 deliveries. The marked increase has been attributed to the increasing prevalence of cesarean delivery in recent decades.The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum will also increase due to increasing of caesarean section rate. Case: Mrs.44 yo, G3P2 36-37weekslive, previous cesarean section 2 time,placenta previa totalis, placenta percreta. She’s comes with a chief complaint of lower abdominal cramps, patients regularly antenatal care at obstetrician. Ultrasound finding, a single fetus lives at transvers lie, dorso superior, corresponding to 36-37 weeks, placenta previa, placenta percreta (PAI:83%). This patient planned for elective conservative surgery management, due to cesarean section and or cesarean hysterectomy. Discussion:Surgical conservative management giving birth a baby without a placenta, followed by a hysterectomy, has been shown to reduce the risk of bleeding and the need for blood transfusion. The discovery of placenta accreta spectrum earlier when antenatal care, better birth planning than multidisciplinary science includedfetomaternal, gyneco-oncologist, anesthesiologist, thorac& cardiovascular surgeon, radiology intervention, intensivist - obstetric intensive care, urologist and neonatology can determine the success of handling cases of placenta accreta spectrum so as to reduce maternal, fetal morbidity and mortality. Conclusions:  The discovery of placenta accreta spectrum earlier when antenatal care, planning delivery is better than multidisciplinary science. Management with corporal incisions away from placental implantation, giving birth baby without a placenta, followed by a hysterectomy, has been shown to reduce the risk of bleeding and the need for blood transfusion.

Introduction Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening event due to massive hemorrhage. Placenta previa and previous cesarean section are major risk factors for PAS. Italy holds one of the highest rates of primary and repeated cesarean section in Europe; nonetheless, there is a paucity of high-quality Italian data on PAS. The aim of this paper was to estimate the prevalence of PAS in Italy and to evaluate its associated factors, ante- and intra-partum management, and perinatal outcomes. Also, since severe morbidity and mortality in Italy show a North-South gradient, we assessed and compared perinatal outcomes of women with PAS according to the geographical area of delivery. Material and methods This was a prospective population-based study using the Italian Obstetric Surveillance System (ItOSS) and including all women aged 15–50 years with a diagnosis of PAS between September 2014 and August 2016. Six Italian regions were involved in the study project, covering 49% of the national births. Cases were prospectively reported by a trained clinician for each participating maternity unit by electronic data collection forms. The background population comprised all women who delivered in the participating regions during the study period. Results A cohort of 384 women with PAS was identified from a source population of 458 995 maternities for a prevalence of 0.84/1000 (95% CI, 0.75–0.92). Antenatal suspicion was present in 50% of patients, who showed reduced rates of blood transfusion compared to unsuspected patients (65.6% versus 79.7%, P = 0.003). Analyses by geographical area showed higher rates of both concomitant placenta previa and prior CS (62.1% vs 28.7%, P<0.0001) and antenatal suspicion (61.7% vs 28.7%, P<0.0001) in women in Southern compared to Northern Italy. Also, these women had lower rates of hemorrhage ≥2000 mL (29.6% vs 51.2%, P<0.0001), blood transfusion (64.5% vs 87.5%, P = 0.001), and severe maternal morbidity (5.0% vs 11.1%, P = 0.036). Delivery in a referral center for PAS occurred in 71.9% of these patients. Conclusions Antenatal suspicion of PAS is associated with improved maternal outcomes, also among high-risk women with both placenta previa and prior CS, likely because of their referral to specialized centers for PAS management.

<p>Placenta accreta spectrum is one of maternal mortality’s causes which is related with severe obstetric bleeding that requires hysterectomy. The incidence rate of the spectrum placenta increases with increasing caesarean section. Placenta accreta spectrum is also close-related to placenta previa. The aim of this study is to  understand perioperative management in patient with placenta percreta performed with intra-aortic ballooning in caesarean section. We are following a case on a 36 year old female patient, multigravida at term pregnant with placenta percreta and history of caesarean section 5 and 2 years ago. The surgeries performed were caesarean section surgery as well as intra-aortic ballooning. Anesthetic technique used was general anesthesia. Operation duration approximately ± 180 minutes, bleeding 1500 cc. After the operation, the patient was admitted to the ICU. The patient going well and discharged from ICU to ward on the second day. After three days in ward, the patient discharged to home. Hemodynamic changes during balloon intra-aortic procedures are of particular concern to anesthetists. This is because the stopping of blood flow to the aorta in this case can cause an increase in blood vessel pressure, where the administration of nitroglycerin at low doses can reduce venous tone resulting in venous vasodilation which will maintain hemodynamic stability during the process of blocking blood vessels with a balloon. From the case we may conclude that anesthesia in pregnant women with placenta accreta spectrum should be carried out with caution and involve a multidisciplinary specialist given its high risk of bleeding. The intra-aortic balloon insertion technique can be an option used to reduce the risk of bleeding in patients with placenta accreta spectrum.</p>

Introduction: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality and their prevalence is likely to increase in the future. The risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorders is highest in cases of placenta previa overlying a previous cesarean section scar. Few studies have evaluated placenta accreta spectrum disorders in Portugal. The aim of this study was to review the cases of placenta accreta spectrum overlying a cesarean section scar managed in a Portuguese tertiary center over the last decade.Material and Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study, with data collected from hospital databases. Only cases with histopathological confirmation of placenta accreta spectrum were included.Results: During the study period, 15 cases of placenta accreta spectrum overlying a cesarean section scar were diagnosed (prevalence 0.6/1000). All cases were diagnosed antenatally. A transverse cesarean section was present in all cases; 13 were managed by a scheduled multidisciplinary approach, while two required emergent management. Total or subtotal hysterectomy was performed in 12 cases. There were no cases of maternal or neonatal death. Histopathological evaluation confirmed nine cases of placenta accreta, three cases of placenta increta and three cases of placenta percreta.Discussion: Early antenatal diagnosis is important for a programmed multidisciplinary management of these cases, which may reduce potential morbidity and mortality and ensure better obstetric outcomes.Conclusion: This case series of placenta accreta spectrum overlying a cesarean section scar reports the reality of a tertiary-care perinatal center in Portugal, in which no maternal or neonatal mortality due to placenta accreta spectrum was registered over the last decade; this may be attributed to prenatal diagnosis and a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach.

Abstract Background In recent years, abdominal aortic balloon occlusion is considered an effective method for placenta accreta spectrum patients with placenta previa. However, not all patients in this category require abdominal aortic balloon placement. This study aims to investigate whether the new scoring system is effective for the placement of the abdominal aortic balloon in Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS)patients with placenta previa. Methods PAS patients with placenta previa diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound were included, and divided into three groups according to their scores graded by a new scoring system (grade Ⅰ group ≤ 5 points, 6 points ≤ grade Ⅱ group ≤ 9 points, grade Ⅲ group ≥ 10 points). Patients with grade Ⅲ were placed with an abdominal aortic balloon unless their families and patients strongly refused. Those with grade I were not placed with an abdominal aortic balloon. Those with grade II generally were not placed with an abdominal aortic balloon unless their families and patients strongly request. Indicators were analyzed, including postpartum hemorrhage, transfusion requirements, operation time, and the ability to preserve the uterus and fertility. Results Estimated blood loss, the number of intraoperative transfused patients, postoperative days were different among the three groups. In group 2 (grade II), there was no significant difference in other observation indexes༈intraoperative blood loss 629 ± 214 vs 758 ± 749, P = 0.488, packed red blood cells47 ± 194 vs 154 ± 445, P = 0.488, admission to ICU 0/7 vs 3/71, P = 1.000, total hysterectomies 0/7 vs 2/71, P = 1.000༉(except for the operation time81.4 ± 19.5 vs 61.7 ± 30.6, P = 0.013) between the abdominal aortic balloon and non-abdominal aortic balloon groups. In group 3 (grade III), significant differences were found in intraoperative blood loss (950 ± 390 vs 2238 ± 1052, P༜0.001), packed red blood cells(213 ± 311 vs 662 ± 528, P༜0.001), postoperative blood transfusion volume(105 ± 181 vs 300 ± 321, P = 0.008), operation time(90.0 ± 25.9 vs 115.9 ± 45.3, P = 0.013), the proportion of people who need blood transfusion(14 in the IABO vs 11 in the NIABO, P = 0.002) and the total Hysterectomies (0 in the IABO vs 2 in the NIABO, P = 0.011) between the abdominal aortic balloon and non-abdominal aortic balloon groups. Conclusion With the new scoring system, not all patients with PAS and placenta previa need a preventive temporary balloon occlusion of the subrenal abdominal aorta. We recommend placing an abdominal aortic balloon in patients with grade III, for it can control intraoperative bleeding and reduce intraoperative blood transfusion, and reduce the risk of hysterectomy. For patients with grade I and II, abdominal aortic balloon placement is not recommended.

BACKGROUND The prevalence of Placenta Accreta Spectrum(PAS) is increasing rapidly linked with the cesarean rate increase worldwide, creating a threatening condition from severe postpartum hemorrhage to various maternal morbidities. The socio-economic imbalance, geographical, qualification, and specialty variations of the previous cesarean delivery healthcare facilities resulted in assessment and management difficulties. OBJECTIVE To assess variations of prior cesarean delivery healthcare facilities on pregnancy outcomes on current PAS with Placenta Previa. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center from Nov.2015 to Nov.2020 in central China. Healthcare facilities were classified by geographical, hospital grading, ownership, and specialty variations. The primary outcome was postpartum hemorrhage(PPH), secondary outcomes included Placenta Percreta and maternal-fetal morbidities. RESULTS In total, 252 patients were enrolled, 58(23%) patients had Placenta Accreta, 131(52%) had Placenta Increta and 63(25%) had Placenta Percreta. The overall incidence of PPH was 47.2%(119 out of 252). As the administrative geographical level becoming smaller and more distant, PPH incidence climbed up: province-level(10, 32.3%), prefecture-level(65, 48.5%), county-level(30, 42.3%), and rural township(14, 82.5%), P for trend= 0.019. The odds of PPH in rural township clinics was 5.84(P=0.03, 95%CI 1.18~28.77) compared to the province-level hospitals. Similarly, when hospital grades declined, PPH incidence raised: tertiary(26, 39.4%), secondary(28, 43.8%), primary(14, 38.9%) and unclassified(51, 59.3%), P for trend= 0.047. Unclassified hospitals had 2.16(P= 0.046, 95%CI 1.02~4.61) times odds of PPH compared to tertiary medical centers. PPH showed no statistical significance based on ownership or specialty variations. Also, Placenta Percreta increased when geographical location shifted from urban to rural: three (9.7%) from province-level, 34(25.6%) from prefecture-level, 18(25.4%) from county-level and eight(47.1%) from rural township clinics, P= 0.04, P for trend =0.018. Patients with previous rural township clinics cesarean delivery had a 7.49 times risk((P=0.011, 95%CI 1.59~35.19) of developing Placenta Percreta compared with province-level hospitals. CONCLUSIONS Healthcare facilities variations of the previous cesarean delivery have upcoming impacts on subsequent pregnancy. The tendency of experiencing adverse maternal outcomes is more significant with prior cesarean in the rural township clinics and unclassified hospitals. The findings call for physicians’ alertness, persistent efforts in urban-rural disparity reduction, and measures to achieve equitable management.

Objective This study aimed to define the conditions that increase the possibility of receiving a blood transfusion in patients who had a cesarean section. Methods This study was conducted between January 2016 – May 2020 in a university hospital located in Konya, Turkey. Pregnant women undergoing cesarean section were included. Of 4303 eligible patients, 188 women were the transfused group and 4115 women were the non-transfused group. Logistic regression analysis was performed for potential confounding factors. Results A total of 4303 eligible patients were evaluated in this study. There were 4115 patients (95.6%) in the non-transfused group. The transfused group consisted of 188 patients (4.4%). The probability of transfusion was higher in pregnant women with placenta previa, placenta accreta spectrum, thrombocytopenia, preoperative anemia, macrosomia above 4500 g, and multiple gestations [adjusted OR values (95% CI); 10.58 (range 4.75–23.57), 7.75 (range 3.22–18.61), 7.85 (range 3.46–17.79), 5.71 (range 4.21–7.74), 4.22 (range 1.21-14.67) and 2.10 (range 1.18-3.72), respectively]. There was no increase in the possibility of transfusion in 4000–4500 gram macrosomia, uterine fibroids, preeclampsia, premature rupture of membranes, previous cesarean sections and gestational diabetes mellitus. Conclusion Placenta previa, placenta accreta spectrum, thrombocytopenia, preoperative anemia, macrosomia above 4500 g and multiple gestations increase the possibility of transfusion. Perioperative blood preparation is vital in such patients. Prevention of anemia during pregnancy is critical in reducing transfusions.

Objective The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has been increasing in the United States. In addition, there has also been an increase in the utilization of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The IVF pregnancies confer an increased risk of adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes, but there is limited data on whether IVF is associated with PAS. The aim of this study is to assess the association between IVF and the risk of PAS. Study Design This was a retrospective cohort study of deliveries from January 1, 2013 to August 1, 2018 at a tertiary hospital in the Massachusetts. IVF pregnancies were compared with non-IVF pregnancies, and PAS diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology reports. Hospital administrative data and medical record review were used, and supplemented with data from birth certificates from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Results We identified 28,344 pregnancies that met inclusion criteria, of which 1,418 (5.0%) were IVF pregnancies. The overall incidence of PAS was 0.4% (2.2% in the IVF group and 0.3% in the non-IVF group). Women who underwent IVF had 5.5 times the risk of PAS (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.4–8.7) compared with women in the non-IVF group, adjusted for maternal age, nulliparity, and year of delivery (Table 5). Compared with women in the non-IVF group, the IVF group had fewer prior cesarean deliveries (22.6 vs. 64.2%) and a lower prevalence of placenta previa (19.4 vs. 44.4%). Conclusion Women with an IVF pregnancy carry an increased risk of PAS compared with non-IVF. Among women who underwent IVF, there was a lower prevalence of prior cesarean deliveries and placenta previa. Future work is needed to identify the mechanism of association for this increased risk as well as a reliable tool for antenatal detection in this cohort of women. Key Points

Placenta percreta is the most complicated degree of the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). It involves placental invasion through the uterine myometrium and into, or beyond, the uterine serosa, which can ultimately lead to severe maternal hemorrhage. Placenta previa is often associated with PAS and can be a significant indicator, along with other clinical factors. Sonography has historically been a highly accurate and safe imaging modality to assess the PAS. This specific case examines a patient with a pathologically proven percreta with an associated previa and succenturiate placental lobe.
