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.

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.

Abstract BackgroundPlacental implantation abnormalities remain among the major causes of massive postpartum hemorrhage and maternal mortality worldwide. To avoid a hysterectomy, prophylactic management with perioperative internal iliac artery balloon occlusion (IIABO) could minimize blood loss and facilitate surgical performance through reductions in the rate of uterine perfusion. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IIABO in patients with placental implantation abnormalities.ResultsThe study group consisted of 13 patients, including three patients with placenta previa totalis, seven patients with placenta increta, and three patients with placenta percreta. Prophylactic IIABO was performed in all patients. The median estimated blood loss was 700 ml ± 598.8 ml, the median number of red blood cell transfusion units was 0 ± 0.75, and only two patients required uterine artery embolization. The uterus was preserved in eight patients (61.5%), with an average intra-hospitalary stay of 6 ± 3.2 days. The average fetal radiation dose was 4.67 mGy. No complications were attributed to IIABO placement.ConclusionsThe prophylactic use of IIABO in placental implantation abnormalities is an effective and safe method of controlling perioperative bleeding during cesarean section and hysterectomy. Indications should be strictly controlled, and interdisciplinary planning and management are mandatory.

Abstract Background Placenta previa and accreta are serious obstetric conditions that are associated with a high risk of intraoperative massive hemorrhage, the prophylactic intravascular balloon occlusion technique is increasingly used in managing uncontrolled hemorrhage in cesarean section (CS). We aim to examine the clinical effectiveness of prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery (PBOIIA) during CS in improving maternal outcomes for patients with placenta previa and accreta. Methods A total of 420 women with placenta previa and accreta who underwent CS from January 2014 to December 2018 were included retrospectively. Patients were divided into balloon group in which patients had PBOIIA (n = 248) and the control group in which patients did not have PBOIIA (n = 172). Meanwhile, we performed a subgroup analysis in whether taking parallel transverse uterine incision (PTUI) surgery. Information on conditions of patients and newborns, perioperative blood indicators, surgical outcomes were collected. Results Median estimated blood loss (mEBL) was 2200 mL in the balloon group and 2150 mL in the control group respectively, there was no significant difference between two-groups comparison (P > 0.05), and the rate of patients with hysterectomy was also has no difference between the two groups (36.3% verus 35.5%, P > 0.05), while there is a significant difference between two groups in the amount of PRBCs transfused [3 (0–31.5) verus 3 (0–39), P <0.05], moreover, the proportion of PRBCS> 8 units in the balloon group is significantly lower than that in control group (11.29% verus 23.26%, P <0.05).. However, the total hospitalization costs (45,624.4 ± 11,061.9 verus 37,523.1 ± 14,662.2, CYN) and surgery costs (19,910.6 ± 2622.6 verus 11,850.5 ± 3146.1, CYN) in balloon group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed PTUI surgery had no significant differences in EBL (P >0.05), but it could significantly decrease hysterectomy rates (P <0.05). Conclusions PBOIIA has no significant effect on reducing intraoperative EBL and hysterectomy rate in patients with placenta previa and accreta. and although it could reduce the intraoperative PRBCs in patients with massive hemorrhage, it significantly increases the financial cost for patients. Therefore, PBOIIA should not be routinely recommended to patients with placenta previa and accreta.
