Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the application of different uterine artery embolization procedures under balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta in patients with Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) undergoing cesarean section. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data from 72 patients who underwent uterine artery embolization for hemostasis during cesarean section with PAS. The patients were divided into two groups according to the embolization method used during surgery: group A (n = 43) underwent uterine artery embolization by withdrawing the balloon and inserting a Cobra catheter into the uterine artery for embolization, while group B (n = 29) underwent uterine artery embolization with a Cobra catheter inserted via contralateral puncture of the femoral artery and balloon occlusion. General information, surgical data, and postoperative recovery were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The bleeding and transfusion volumes were lower in group B than in group A and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant. There were no significant differences in surgical duration, number of embolized vessels, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, or menstrual recovery between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION For patients with PAS undergoing cesarean section, uterine artery embolization for hemostasis is preferably performed by inserting a Cobra catheter via contralateral puncture of the femoral artery under abdominal aortic balloon occlusion.

Efficacy and safety of prophylactic balloon occlusion in the management of placenta accreta spectrum disorder: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Womens Health 2024; 24:208. [PMID: 38561713 PMCID: PMC10986079 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-024-03049-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS) is a serious obstetric complication associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. Prophylactic balloon occlusion (PBO), as an intravascular interventional therapies, has emerged as a potential management strategy for controlling massive hemorrhage in patients with PAS. However, current evidence about the clinical application of PBO in PAS patients are still controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PBO in the management of PAS. METHODS A retrospective cohort study including PAS patients underwent cesarean delivery was conducted in a tertiary hospital from January 2015 to March 2022. Included PAS patients were further divided into balloon and control groups by whether PBO was performed. Groups were compared for demographic characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative parameters, maternal and neonatal outcomes, PBO-related complication and follow up outcomes. Additionally, multivariate-logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the definitive associations between PBO and risk of massive hemorrhage and hysterectomy. RESULTS A total of 285 PAS patients met the inclusion criteria were included, of which 57 PAS patients underwent PBO (PBO group) and 228 women performed cesarean section (CS) without PBO (control group). Irrespective of the differences of baseline characteristics between the two groups, PBO intervention did not reduce the blood loss, hysterectomy rate and postoperative hospital stay, but it prolonged the operation time and increased the cost of hospitalization (All P < 0.05) Additionally, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications, neonatal outcomes, and follow-up outcomes(All P > 0.05). In particular, patients undergoing PBO were more likely to develop the venous thrombosis postoperatively (P = 0.001). However, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PBO significantly decreased the risk of massive hemorrhage (OR 0.289, 95%CI:0.109-0.766, P = 0.013). The grade of PAS and MRI with S2 invasion were the significant risk factors affecting massive hemorrhage(OR:6.232 and OR:5.380, P<0.001). CONCLUSION PBO has the potential to reduce massive hemorrhage in PAS patients undergoing CS. Obstetricians should, however, be aware of potential complications arising from the PBO. Additionally, MRI with S2 invasion and PAS grade will be useful to identify PAS patients who at high risk and may benefit from PBO. In brief, PBO seem to be a promising alternative for management of PAS, yet well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to convincingly demonstrate its benefits and triage the necessity of PBO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has been linked to severe negative maternal-fetal pregnancy outcomes, including a high risk of maternal death. The goal of this study was to determine whether an abdominal aortic balloon block performed before fetal birth lowered intraoperative bleeding and the risk of severe bleeding, as opposed to a block performed after fetal birth. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, patients who underwent pre-delivery or post-delivery inflation were compared for intraoperative hemorrhage, transfusion rate, hysterectomy rate, intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization, and newborn indices. To ensure the robustness of our findings, we applied multivariate logistic regression, propensity score analysis, and an inverse probability-weighting model. RESULTS This study included 168 patients who underwent balloon occlusion (62 pre-delivery, 106 post-delivery). The overall probability of major bleeding was 56.5% (95/168), and the pre-delivery and post-delivery probabilities for major bleeding were 64.5% (40/62) and 51.9% (55/106) (P = 0.112), respectively. In the multivariable-adjusted model, post-delivery inflation was associated with a 33% numerically higher probability of massive bleeding (odds ratio 1.33, 95% confidence interval 0.54-3.25, P = 0.535). However, the difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION According to our findings, pre-delivery inflation did not significantly reduce the risk or amount of severe bleeding.

Abstract
Pernicious placenta previa (PPP) accompanied by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a life-threatening placental implantation that causes a variety of complications, including antepartum hemorrhage, postpartum hemorrhage, hemorrhagic shock, preterm birth, and neonatal asphyxia. Along with continuous improvements in medical technology, interventional procedures have been widely used to prevent intraoperative hemorrhage associated with PPP. The commonly used interventional procedures include abdominal aorta clamping, prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal or common iliac arteries, and uterine artery embolization. The above-mentioned interventional procedures have their respective advantages and disadvantages. The best procedure for different situations continues to be debated considering the complex pattern of blood supply to the uterus in patients with PPP. The specific choice of interventional procedure depends on the clinical situation of the patient with PPP. For grade III PAS, the need for uterine artery embolization is assessed based on blood loss and preoperative hemostatic effect following abdominal aorta clamping. Repair or hysterectomy may be performed following uterine artery embolization if there is a hybrid operating room for grade III PAS patients with extensive sub-serosal penetration of the uterus and repair difficulty. For grade II PAS (shallow placental implantation), prophylactic balloon occlusion may not be necessary before surgery. Uterine artery embolization can be performed in case of postoperative hemorrhage.

Abstract
Background Studies have demonstrated the use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion catheters of the aorta (REBOA) in the setting of postpartum hemorrhage and traumatic hemorrhagic shock. However, REBOA is infrequently utilized leading to a lack of clinician comfort. This study's aim was to demonstrate the utility of REBOA in a hemorrhaging pregnant trauma patient and improve clinician comfort with the placement of REBOA while emphasizing collaboration between medical specialties. Methods A multidisciplinary in-situ simulation was developed for the management of a pregnant patient with an abdominal gunshot wound evaluated by obstetrics and surgery teams. A trauma survey, emergency c-section, massive transfusion protocol (MTP), and evaluation for and placement of REBOA were indicated during the simulation. A standardized Return on Learning questionnaire was utilized to determine participants' reactions and confidence gained during the simulation. Results A total of 32 of 41 participants completed the survey (78%). A statistically significant increase in confidence was reported in the ability to prioritize the care of a pregnant patient with hemorrhagic shock (p = 0.016), apply MTP to the appropriate clinical setting (p = 0.03), and analyze critical decisions made for abdominal trauma in pregnant patients (p = 0.006). Specifically for physicians, a significant increase in confidence in the ability to identify indications/contraindications for REBOA placement in hemorrhaging patients was observed (p = 0.021). Conclusions A multidisciplinary simulation for the management of a pregnant patient in hemorrhagic shock secondary to penetrating abdominal trauma improved learner confidence in MTP, care of pregnant patients in hemorrhagic shock, and abdominal trauma in pregnancy. Physician learners gained confidence in indications for REBOA placement in abdominal trauma. This simulation was highly relevant to all participants.

Abstract
Background The distinguished Triple-P procedure has been reported as a conservative surgical alternative to peripartum hysterectomy for placental accreta spectrum (PAS). In this study, we modified the procedure combined with prophylactic abdominal aorta balloon occlusion and/or tourniquet and evaluated the effect and long-term outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective study involving pregnant patients with clinically confirmed severe PAS (including placenta increta and percreta) between January 1st, 2017 and June 30th, 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. A total of 334 pregnant women were recruited in this study. The 142 women that were subjected to modified Triple P Procedure were regarded as the observation group while 194 pregnant women that were treated with other sutures were regarded as the control group. Demographic characteristics, placental accreta spectrum score (PAS score), estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time, blood transfusion rate and volume, neonatal weight, post-operative hospital stays and costs were evaluated. Short-term complications, including fever, hematoma, thrombus, bladder rupture and intensive care unit (ICU) transfer rate, as well as long-term outcomes including breast feeding, menstruation, intrauterine adhesion, and chronic abdominal pain among others were followed up in the outpatient clinic and by phone calls. Results For all cases, EBL was lower in the observation group than in the control group, 1,200 (687–1,812) ml and 1,300 (800–2,500) ml, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Operative time were statistically significantly shorter in the observation group [99.5 (84.0–120.0) min and 109.0 (83.8–143.0) min, P < 0.05]. Lengths of postoperative hospital stays were 4 (4–7) and 5 (4–7) days in the observation and control group, which was significantly shorter in the observation group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in PAS scores, blood transfusion volume, neonatal weight, fever, hematoma, thrombus, bladder rupture and ICU transfer rates between the two groups. All patients, except one in control group, had preserved uterus. There were no statistically significant differences in short-term and long-term complications between two groups. Conclusion In summary, when combined with tourniquet and/or prophylactic abdominal aorta balloon occlusion, modified Triple-P procedure may be effective in reducing intraoperative blood loss and hysterectomy in patients with placenta increta/percreta. It is a safe and effective surgical alternative to peripartum hysterectomy. However, the complications associated with interventional radiology service should be evaluated furthermore.

Abstract
Background: Massive bleeding is the main concern for the management of placenta percreta (PP). Intra-abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) is one method for pelvic devascularization, but the efficacy of IABO is uncertain. This study aims to investigate the outcomes of IABO in PP patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of PP cases from six tertiary centers in China between January 2011 and December 2015. PP cases with/without the use of IABO were analyzed. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to reduce the effect of selection bias. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and the rate of hysterectomy, as well as neonatal outcomes, were analyzed. Results: One hundred and thirty-two matched pairs of patients were included in the final analysis. Compared with the control group, maternal outcomes, including PPH (68.9% vs. 87.9%, χ2 = 13.984, P < 0.001), hysterectomy (8.3% vs. 65.2%, χ2 = 91.672, P < 0.001), and repeated surgery (1.5% vs. 12.1%, χ2 = 11.686, P = 0.001) were significantly reduced in the IABO group. For neonatal outcomes, Apgar scores at 1 minute (8.67 ± 1.79 vs. 8.53 ± 1.68, t = −0.638, P = 0.947) and 5 minutes (9.43 ± 1.55 vs. 9.53 ± 1.26, t = 0.566, P = 0.293) were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: IABO can significantly reduce blood loss, hysterectomies, and repeated surgeries. This procedure has not shown harmful effects on neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
Background: We investigated the role of balloon placement in the abdominal aorta (BPAA) in planned conservative management of placenta previa with placenta increta or percreta and the effects of BPAA on perinatal adverse maternal events. Methods: This retrospective case-control study included women with placenta previa (increta or percreta), who underwent pregnancy termination at the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 2016 and June 2019. Patients were categorized into the BPAA and non-BPAA groups based on the BPAA placement before delivery. The Chi-square and non-parametric rank-sum tests were used for the intergroup comparison of patient characteristics. The propensity score matching algorithm was used to minimize the intergroup differences in clinical characteristics. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with a high risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [area under the curve (AUC)] was used to evaluate the classification of the selected high-risk factors. Results: The study included 260 patients, and 104 patients were identified after propensity score matching. In the post-matched cohort, intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the BPAA than in the non-BPAA group (median 1,000 vs. 2,250 ml, P < 0.001). Intraoperative B-Lynch suture was performed in fewer patients in the BPAA (15.4 vs. 34.6%, P = 0.024) than in the non-BPAA group. The packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion rate was lower in the BPAA group (median 4 vs. 8 units, P < 0.001). Overall, 46 (45.1%) patients developed adverse maternal events; however, the rate of adverse maternal events was lower in the BPAA group (19.6 vs. 80.4%, P < 0.001). No ligation of the ascending branch of the uterine artery (P = 0.034), no BPAA (P < 0.001), intraplacental vascular lacunae (P = 0.046), and cervical hypervascularity (P = 0.001) were associated with a high risk of adverse perinatal maternal events. The AUC of the high-risk factors was 0.89 in the post-matched and 0.76 in the pre-matched cohorts. Conclusion: Planned conservative management using BPAA significantly minimized the intraoperative blood loss, the need for a B-Lynch suture, and PRBC transfusion in patients with severe placenta accreta spectrum and placenta previa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal death worldwide, with increased risk in women with abnormal placentation. Aortic balloon occlusion (ABO), including resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion, has been used for obstetrical hemorrhage for 20 years, and is associated with decreased operative blood loss, fewer transfusions, and lower rates of hysterectomy. However, the effect of aortic occlusion on fetal/neonatal outcomes is not well known. METHODS A literature review on ABO for obstetrical or traumatic hemorrhage was performed. Cases were included if fetal/neonatal outcomes were reported. Data were collected on timing of balloon inflation (predelivery or postdelivery), fetal/neonatal mortality, and Apgar scores. Secondary maternal outcomes included blood loss, need for hysterectomy, ABO-related complications, and mortality. RESULTS Twenty-one reports of ABO in 825 cases of obstetrical hemorrhage were reviewed (nine case reports/series and twelve comparative studies). 13.5% (111/825) had aortic occlusion prior to delivery of the fetus. Comparative cohorts included 448 patients who underwent iliac artery balloon occlusion (n = 219) or no vascular balloon occlusion (n = 229). The most common neonatal outcome reported was Apgar scores, with no difference in fetal/neonatal outcomes between ABO and non-ABO patients in any study. One neonatal mortality occurred in the sole reported case of ABO use in a pregnant trauma patient at 24 weeks gestation. One maternal mortality occurred because of aortic dissection. Five comparative studies reported significantly decreased blood loss in ABO patients compared to non-ABO patients, and four studies reported significantly lower rates of hysterectomy in ABO patients. ABO-related complications were reported in 1.6% of patients (13/825). CONCLUSION Obstetrical hemorrhage is a devastating complication, and ABO may potentially decrease blood loss and reduce the hysterectomy rate without compromising fetal and neonatal outcomes. Further research is needed to determine the safety of predelivery aortic occlusion as this occurred in 14% of the cases.

Intelligent Recognition Algorithm-Based Color Doppler Ultrasound in the Treatment of Dangerous Placenta Previa. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2021; 2021:9886521. [PMID: 34880982 PMCID: PMC8648457 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9886521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The study focused on the clinical diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasound of dangerous placenta previa patients under the guidance of intelligent recognition algorithms. 58 patients with placenta previa and placenta accreta admitted to the hospital for treatment were selected as research subjects. The color Doppler ultrasound under the guidance of intelligent recognition algorithm was compared with the two-dimensional ultrasound for specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. The color Doppler ultrasound results showed that, of the 58 patients, there were 32 cases of complete placenta previa and 26 cases of incomplete placenta previa, which were consistent with the surgical pathology results. It was found that patients with malignant placenta previa and placenta accreta had thickened placenta, disappeared posterior placental space, myometrium <2 mm, and increased incidence of cervical enlargement (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the recognition accuracy of color Doppler ultrasound under the guidance of the intelligent recognition algorithm is more than 90%, and it can effectively identify dangerous placenta previa, assisting doctors in diagnosis and treatment of dangerous placenta previa.

Open versus endovascular REBOA control of blood loss during cesarean delivery in the placenta accreta spectrum: A single-center retrospective case control study. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2021; 258:23-28. [PMID: 33388487 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2020.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 12/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/09/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare two vascular control options for blood loss prevention and hysterectomy during cesarean delivery (CD2): endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA3) and open bilateral common iliac artery occlusion (CIAO4) in women with extensive placenta accreta spectrum (PAS5). STUDY DESIGN This was retrospective comparison of cases of PAS using either CIAO (October 2017 through October 2018) or REBOA (November 2018 through November 2019) to prevent pathologic hemorrhage during scheduled CD. Women with confirmed placenta increta/percreta underwent either CD then intraoperative post-delivery, pre-hysterectomy open vascular control of both CIA6 (CIAO group) or pre-operative, ultrasound-guided, fluoroscopy-free REBOA followed by standard CD and balloon inflation after fetal delivery (REBOA group). Intraoperative blood loss, transfusion volumes, surgical time, blood pressure, maternal and neonatal outcomes, hospitalization length and postoperative complications were compared. RESULTS The REBOA and CIAO groups included 12 and 16 women, respectively, with similar median age of 35 years and gestational age of 34-35 weeks. All REBOA catheters were successfully placed into aortic zone three under ultrasound guidance. The quantitated median intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower for the REBOA group, (541 [IQR 300-750] mL) compared to the CIAO group (3331 [IQR 1150-4750] mL (P = 0.001). As a result, the total volume of fluid and blood replacement therapy was significantly lower in the REBOA group (P < 0.05). Median surgical time in the REBOA group was less than half as long: 76 [IQR 64-89] minutes compared to 168 [IQR 90-222] minutes in the CIAO group (P = 0.001). None of the women with REBOA required hysterectomy, while 8/16 women in the CIAO group did (P = 0.008). Furthermore, the post-anesthesia recovery and hospital discharge times in the REBOA-group were shorter (P < 0.05). One thromboembolic complication occurred in each group. The only REBOA-associated complication was non-occlusive femoral artery thrombosis, with no surgical management required. No maternal or neonatal deaths occurred in either group. CONCLUSION Fluoroscopy-free REBOA for women with PAS is associated with improved vascular control, perioperative blood loss, the need for transfusion and hysterectomy and reduces surgical time when compared to bilateral CIAO.

Abstract
The strict correlation between abnormal invasive placentation and postpartum hemorrhage suggests that a widespread antenatal diagnosis of placental anomalies would improve the management of these challenging patients; acting preventive solutions at the moment of delivery reduces blood loss and avoid hysterectomies. The role of endovascular procedures in this field has been encouraged by multiple studies reporting prophylactic uterine arteries embolization and iliac/aortic balloon catheters positioning. This paper aims to review the main imaging diagnostic findings of placental implant anomalies and summarize the principal preventive endovascular strategies proposed in literature.

Abstract
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders are rare but potentially life-threatening obstetric conditions, which can result in severe post-partum haemorrhage (PPH). Traditional management necessitates peripartum hysterectomy, but this carries high rates of morbidity and mortality. More recently, interventional radiology techniques have been developed in order to reduce morbidity and preserve fertility. This article summarises and compares the various reported interventional radiology techniques. Arterial embolisation performed to treat PPH is the therapeutic option which is supported by the highest degree of evidence. The role of preventative procedures, such as temporary balloon occlusion of the internal iliac arteries or distal aorta, continues to be debated due to conflicting outcome data and concerns regarding associated morbidity. The choice of which, if any, interventional radiological technique is utilised is determined by local expertise, available resources and the planned obstetric approach. The most complex patients are likely to benefit from multidisciplinary management in high-volume centres.

Abstract
Worldwide, the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is ∼6% and it is the leading cause of maternal mortality. The present study introduces a non-invasive procedure called bilateral cervix apex clamping (BCAC) as a new treatment for refractory PPH. A total of 13 vaginal deliveries and 5 caesarean section patients received the BCAC procedure to stop bleeding. During the procedure, the anterior and posterior walls of the cervical apex were clamped using toothless ovum forceps from the left and right side. The procedure was terminated when the bleeding had nearly stopped without clamping. The success rate of the procedure was 94.4% (17/18) overall, and 92.3% for vaginal delivery and 100% in caesarean section patients. Only one case of vaginal delivery did we resort to exploratory laparotomy and hysterectomy as amniotic fluid embolism occurred. The time spent on the procedure was 2-4 min for vaginal delivery cases and 5-7 min for caesarean section patients. The blood loss reduced significantly after the procedure, before the BCAC and after it was 875(450) ml versus 100(80)ml (p < .0001). There was a reduction in the need for UAE (uterine artery embolisation) from 13 in 22,817 deliveries (2013-2015) to 0 in 18,212 deliveries (2016-2017 (p < .001). But no change in the rate of hysterectomy (5/22817 versus 5/18212) (p = .76). BCAC is a simple, easy, safe, effective and non-invasive procedure that can decrease bleeding in patients with PPH.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? The BCAC clamping procedure was first described in Russia 80 years ago as the Genkel-Tikanadze method. But a PUBMED search did not identify and previous studies published on use of the technique.What do the results of this study add? The results of this study show that the BCAC clamping procedure can reduce bleeding significantly in refractory postpartum haemorrhage, when the uterine body is well contracted. The procedure can be performed after both in vaginal delivery and caesarean section. It can also reduce the necessity for UAE and balloon tamponade.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? BCAC can be used after the failure of regular first line therapy for postpartum haemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive procedure that has been studied in the management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). OBJECTIVE To appraise HIFU in the management of PAS and highlight the restrictions on converting uterus-preserving studies into evidence-based practice. SEARCH STRATEGY A search on Scopus, Cochrane, PubMed and Web of Science was conducted from date of inception to January 2020. SELECTION CRITERIA Studies on using HIFU in the management of PAS were eligible. Review articles, conference papers, and case reports were excluded. DATA COLLECTION A standardized sheet was used to abstract data from eligible studies. CON-PAS registry was used to include studies on other conservative modalities. RESULTS Four studies were eligible (399 patients). Average residual placental volume was 61.74 cm3 (6.01-339 cm3 ). Treatment was successful in all patients. Normal menstruation recovered after 48.8 days (15-150 days). No major complications were encountered. Sixty-one studies were retrieved from the CON-PAS registry; uterine artery embolization (23 studies), balloon placement (15 studies), compression sutures (10 studies), placenta in situ (7 studies), and uterine resection (6 studies) were successful in 83.7%, 92.9%, 87.9%, 85.2%, and 79.3% of cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HIFU may fit certain clinical situations in the management of PAS. A global research strategy is recommended to incorporate conservative approaches within a comprehensive management protocol.

Abstract
Pernicious placenta previa (PPP) is the main cause of severe obstetric postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy and often requires donor blood transfusion. Prophylactic internal iliac artery (IIA) balloon occlusion (BO) combined with cell salvage is increasingly being deployed in parallel transverse uterine incision (PTUI) cesarean section (CS). The aim of this study was to explore the differences in blood management in PTUI CS with or without prophylactic IIA BO and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cell salvage to reduce the need for donor blood transfusion during PTUI CS.This retrospective study included all women who were diagnosed with PPP and PA and underwent PTUI CS from October 1, 2016, to October 31, 2018. Sixty-four patients were included: 34 underwent prophylactic IIA BO (IIA group), whereas 30 were treated without prophylactic IIA BO (control group). The primary outcome was a composite measure of perioperative blood management outcomes, including the estimated blood loss (EBL), donor blood transfusion, salvaged blood returned, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), pre- and postoperative serum hemoglobin and hematocrit. In addition, the baseline conditions of mother and neonates were compared.EBL was significantly higher in the IIA group compared to the control group (2883.5 mL in the IIA group vs 1868.7 mL in the control group, P = .001). Overall, the donor blood transfusion rate was 23.5% (8/34), averaging 4.2 U, in the IIA group versus 30% (9/30), averaging 3.4 U, in the control group, which were not significantly different. The FFP transfusion rate was 47%, averaging 765.6 mL, in the IIA group versus 20%, averaging 816.7 mL, in the control group. In the IIA group, 97.1% used cell savage and had salvaged blood returned, averaging 954.9 mL. In the control group, 90% had salvaged blood returned, averaging 617.9 mL. No cases of amniotic fluid embolism were observed with leukocyte depletion filters.Prophylactic IIA BO during PTUI CS in women with PPP and PA does not lead to a statistically significant reduction in EBL. Cell salvage was associated with a reduction in the rate of donor blood transfusion during PTUI CS.

Abstract
Background The placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a severe complication of pregnancy and is associated with massive haemorrhage, hysterectomy, and even perinatal maternal-foetal death. Prophylactic abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (PAABO) is a novel and efficient therapy for these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the benefits, potential risks, and characteristics of anaesthesia management. Methods A total of 48 parturients with PAS were enrolled and divided into two groups. Group A (n = 25) received PAABO, and Group B (n = 23) underwent a normal operative procedure. The characteristics of the general parameters, anaesthesia, and operative procedure were noted. Data on vital signs including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) during the operation were recorded. Before and after the procedure, hepatic and renal function and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were also measured. Results The characteristics of the groups were comparable. PAABO significantly reduced estimated blood loss, which was ≥ 1000 ml. Drastic fluctuations in SBP, DBP and HR were observed during inflation and deflation in Group B. After the operation, increased LDH and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) were observed in both groups, and increased glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GTP) was observed in Group B. Conclusions PAABO reduced perioperative blood loss and the risk of hysterectomy among parturients with PAS. Sophisticated anaesthetic management should be implemented to prevent or reduce perioperative complications and address internal disorders that are caused by massive blood loss.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The prevalence of cesarean delivery is increasing worldwide despite the advance of Trial of Labor After Cesarean section. In many countries, a history of previous cesarean section is an almost absolute indication for a repeat cesarean section. The purpose of this review was to examine if the perioperative anesthetic management of patients with repeat cesarean section is different from the anesthetic management of patients with primary cesarean section. RECENT FINDINGS This review discusses important topics, such as early diagnosis of cases with a potentially high risk for complications; the need for assessment of patients diagnosed with abnormal placentation; the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that includes interaction of the anesthesiologist, gynaecologist, and invasive radiologist; emphasizing the need for reinforcement of new methods of invasive procedures; management of massive bleeding, use of new technologies, and development of an institutional protocol for management of patients with abnormal placentation. SUMMARY According to this review, we show that the management of patients with repeat cesarean section without abnormal placentation is almost the same as the management of patients for primary cesarean section. Timely diagnosis of patient with abnormal placentation and multidisciplinary approach is crucial for prevention of morbidity or even mortality.

Abstract
Abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) is a potentially severe condition. To date, arterial embolization in women with postpartum hemorrhage due to AIP is the treatment option for which highest degrees of evidence are available. However, other techniques have been tested, including prophylactic catheter placement, balloon occlusion of the iliac arteries and abdominal aorta balloon occlusion. In this systematic review, we provide an overview of the currently reported interventional radiology procedures that are used for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage due to AIP and suggest recommendations based on current evidences. Owing to a high rate of adverse events, prophylactic occlusion of internal iliac arteries should be used with caution and applied when the endpoint is hysterectomy. On the opposite, when a conservative management is considered to preserve future fertility, uterine artery embolization should be the preferred option as it is associated with a hysterectomy rate of 15.5% compared to 76.5% with prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac arteries and does not result in fetal irradiation. Limited data are available regarding the application of systematic prophylactic embolization and no comparative studies with arterial embolization are available.

[PMID: 32473651 PMCID: PMC7260841 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-020-01040-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of parturients with placenta previa (PP) and placenta accreta (PA) according to their severity, when they were managed with intraoperative abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (IAABO) during cesarean section. Methods We retrospectively examined 57 cases of PP and suspicion for PA in which IAABO was performed during cesarean section between April 2014 and June 2016. Based on preoperative examination and clinical risk factors, patients were divided into the low suspicion PA group and the high suspicion PA group. We compared the demographic characteristics, methods of anesthesia, intra- and postoperative parameters, and maternal and neonatal outcomes. Results The two groups showed similar demographic characteristics and intraoperative outcomes. Four women underwent cesarean hysterectomy. Eight neonates were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and three did not survive. Neonatal Apgar scores were significantly higher in the low suspicion PA group. Eight patients experienced postoperative femoral artery thrombosis and one patient complicated hematoma in the front wall of the common femoral artery. Patients who received neuraxial anesthesia showed significantly lower intraoperative blood loss, lower intraoperative, postoperative and total blood transfusion and shorter surgery than patients who received general anesthesia. Conclusions Our data suggested that the severity of aberrant placental position does not affect intraoperative blood loss during a cesarean section while the IAABO is performed. We propose that neuraxial anesthesia is preferred for conducting these surgeries without contraindications.

Abstract
Low‐lying placentas, placenta previa and abnormally invasive placentas are the most frequently occurring placental abnormalities in location and anatomy. These conditions can have serious consequences for mother and fetus mainly due to excessive blood loss before, during or after delivery. The incidence of such abnormalities is increasing, but treatment options and preventive strategies are limited. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the etiology of placental abnormalities in location and anatomy. Placental formation already starts at implantation and therefore disorders during implantation may cause these abnormalities. Understanding of the normal placental structure and development is essential to comprehend the etiology of placental abnormalities in location and anatomy, to diagnose the affected women and to guide future research for treatment and preventive strategies. We reviewed the literature on the structure and development of the normal placenta and the placental development resulting in low‐lying placentas, placenta previa and abnormally invasive placentas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) during cesarean delivery for women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta. METHODS A retrospective analysis of women with placenta previa admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China, for elective cesarean between February 2003 and July 2016. Postpartum estimated blood loss, blood transfusion, hysterectomy, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) duration, and postoperative stay were compared between control women who underwent cesarean delivery only and women who underwent prophylactic intraoperative UAE during cesarean. RESULTS There were 28 and 26 women in the UAE and control group, respectively. There were no differences in hysterectomy incidence (P=0.291), or duration of ICU stay (P=0.085), or postoperative hospitalization (P=0.668) between the groups; however, the incidence of DIC was lower in the UAE group (P=0.035). Mean estimated blood loss (P=0.018) and blood transfusion (P=0.011) were also lower in the UAE group. No serious complications were associated with the endovascular procedures. CONCLUSION Prophylactic intraoperative UAE seemed to effectively reduce blood loss, need for blood transfusion, and incidence of DIC among women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the safety and efficacy of prophylactic balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta (PBOA) performed at the level of the renal artery (PBOA-ARA) or below this level (PBOA-BRA) for the management of placenta accreta. METHODS We conducted a retrospective investigation of 57 women scheduled for cesarean delivery who underwent PBOA at our hospital between October 2015 and July 2017. The balloon occlusion was performed at (PBOA-ARA group; n = 30) or below (PBOA-BRA group; n = 27) the renal artery origin. The perioperative data of the two groups were compared. RESULTS Estimated blood loss was lower in the PBOA-ARA group than in the PBOA-BRA group (p > .05). There were no intergroup differences in intraoperative blood transfusion volume, hemoglobin reduction, urine output, and serum levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Postballoon release hemorrhage occurred in eight patients of the PBOA-BRA group, but in none of the PBOA-ARA group, indicating a significant difference (p = .007). Subgroup analysis of placenta types revealed that the estimated blood loss among women with placenta increta in the PBOA-ARA group was less than that in the PBOA-BRA group (p = .015), which was reflected by a significant difference in the reduction of hemoglobin levels (p = .042). CONCLUSIONS PBOA at the level of the renal artery entailed lesser blood loss than that performed below the renal artery origin, particularly in the case of placenta increta; this, in turn, reduces the risk of postpartum hemorrhage from ovarian arteries and subsequent blockade of the ovarian artery origin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of uterine-conserving surgery with the occlusion balloon technique followed by uterine or ovarian artery embolization (OAE) in women with placenta accreta. METHODS A total of 31 consecutive patients, who were diagnosed with placenta accreta through grayscale ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging prenatally, were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital between October 2015 and September 2017. All of the women underwent a Cesarean section combined with prophylactic placement of a balloon catheter in the abdominal aorta followed by uterine artery embolization (UAE) or OAE when necessary. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 31 cases (100%), including successful catheterization and inflation of balloons. The uterus was conserved in 30 (96.77%) patients. The estimated blood loss, packed RBC transfused, and the operation time were 1906.45 ± 1117.64 ml, 4(0-6) U, and 88.68 ± 28.35 min, respectively. Out of all of the patients, we found nine cases of bleeding after the release of the balloon. Among these patients, six cases originated from the ovarian arteries and three cases originated from uterine arteries. Further embolization was performed through catheterization. The mean fetal radiation exposure was 4.33 ± 0.79 mGy. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic abdominal aorta balloon occlusion followed by UAE or OAE can effectively control postpartum hemorrhaging with reduced blood loss, transfusion requirements, and hysterectomy rates in patients with placenta accreta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefits and risks of three-step technique as a conservative treatment for women with placenta accreta and desiring future fertility. STUDY DESIGN This study is a retrospective study where the files of 91 cases of placenta accreta managed by three-step technique were reviewed. This study was conducted at Tanta University Hospitals in the period from June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2017. All demographic and operative data were extracted and recorded. RESULTS The mean age was 32.44±2.72 years; the mean operative time was 81.65±15.68min. The mean gestational age at operation was 35.67±1.19 weeks. The technique succeeded to preserve the uterus in 86 cases and failed in 5 cases. There was no cases required ICU admission with mean hospital stay of 3.065±1.04 days. The postoperative morbidities were mild and in the form of fever (n=9) and wound sepsis (n=4), pyometra (n=1) and secondary hemorrhage (n=1). CONCLUSION The three-step procedure is effective as a uterine sparing technique in management of placenta accreta with success rate of 94.5%. The operative and postoperative complications were minimal and expected in such case.

Abstract
Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP), which includes accreta, increta, and percreta, is a condition characterized by the invasion of the uterine wall by placental tissue. The condition is associated with higher odds of massive post-partum hemorrhage. Several interventions have been developed to improve hemorrhage-related outcomes in these patients; however, there is no evidence to prefer any intervention over another. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is an endovascular intervention that may be useful and effective to reduce hemorrhage and transfusions in MAP patients. The objective of this narrative review is to summarize the evidence for REBOA in patients with MAP. We posit that acute care surgeons can perform REBOA for patients with MAP.

Abstract
AIM To compare the efficacy of cesarean section (CS) combined with intermittent aortic balloon occlusion with that of CS alone for treating patients with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta. METHODS Forty-five patients with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta who underwent CS were retrospectively studied. Twenty-two patients had undergone CS combined with intermittent aortic balloon occlusion (combination group) and 23 patients received conventional hemostatic support only (control group). The postpartum hemorrhage, transfusion requirements, operation time and recovery time, and the ability to preserve the uterus and fertility were analyzed. RESULTS Intermittent aortic balloon occlusion significantly decreased the volume of blood loss in the combination group relative to the control group (597 ± 359 mL vs 2687 ± 575 mL; P < 0.001), and transfusion requirements were also reduced (498 ±195 mL vs 2390 ±789 mL; P <0.001). We observed shorter operation time in the combination group relative to the control group (63.8 ± 12.3 min vs 118.8 ± 22.4 min; P < 0.001), and fewer patients required uterine cavity stuffing followed by uterine artery embolization (n = 2 vs n = 10; P <0.05), uterine artery ligation (n = 1 vs n = 9; P < 0.05), and hysterectomy (n = 0 vs n =7; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Intermittent aortic balloon occlusion may control postpartum hemorrhage in pregnancies complicated by placenta accreta, and improve the postoperative conditions.

Abstract
RATIONALE Placenta accreta is the main cause of severe obstetric postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and hysterectomy. Several hemostatic techniques have been performed in patients with placenta accreta to prevent PPH and reserve fertility. Abdominal aorta and pelvic arteries balloon occlusion are the only techniques which could be performed before cesarean section (CS) in patients who want to keep the fetus and reserve fertility. However, abdominal aorta and pelvic arteries balloon occlusion might lead to severe complications such as formation and rupture of pseudoaneurysm, angiorrhexis, etc. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case diagnosed with pernicious placenta previa (PPP) combined with Rh(D) negative blood type, who was performed with bilateral common iliac arteries (CIA) balloon occlusion during CS. However, on the first day after CS, the patient caught sudden left-side lumbago and backache accompanied with palpitation and shortness of breath. DIAGNOSES Formation and rupture of multiple pseudoaneurysms in left CIA. INTERVENTIONS Covered stent was inserted into the proximal part of the left CIA and the ipsilateral internal iliac artery was embolized by coil to prevent endoleak. OUTCOMES The patient recovered and discharged from hospital in stable condition without other complications 9 days after CS. LESSONS It is of paramount importance that obstetricians and radiologists correctly estimate the appropriate occlusion volume and pressure of pelvic arteries before CS to avoid formation and rupture of a pseudoaneurysm. And if the rupture of a pseudoaneurysm occurred, it should be quickly identified and treated with endovascular intervention.

Abstract
The placenta plays a crucial role throughout pregnancy, and its importance may be overlooked during routine antenatal imaging evaluation. Detailed systematic assessment of the placenta at ultrasonography (US), the standard imaging examination during pregnancy, is important. Familiarity with the normal and abnormal imaging appearance of the placenta along with the multimodality and methodical approach for evaluation of its related abnormalities is necessary, so that radiologists can alert clinicians regarding appropriate prompt management decisions. This will potentially decrease fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. This article reviews early placental formation and the expected imaging appearance of the placenta during pregnancy, as well as variations in its morphology. It also discusses various placental diseases and their potential clinical consequences. Placental pathologic conditions include abnormalities of placental size, cord insertion, placental and cord location, and placental adherence. Other conditions such as bleeding in and around the placenta, as well as trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic tumors of the placenta, are also discussed. US with Doppler imaging is the initial imaging modality of choice for placental evaluation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is reserved for equivocal cases or when additional information is needed. Computed tomography (CT) has a limited role in evaluation of placental abnormalities because of the ionizing radiation exposure and the relatively limited assessment of the placenta; however, CT can provide important information in specific circumstances, particularly evaluation of trauma and staging of choriocarcinoma. This article also addresses recent techniques and updates in placental imaging, including elastography, diffusion-weighted MR imaging, and blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MR imaging. These advanced imaging techniques may provide additional information in evaluation of abnormal placental adherence and new insights into placental pathophysiology in selected patients.

[PMID: 29128157 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2017.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2017] [Revised: 08/01/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate efficacy and safety of prophylactic internal iliac occlusion balloon placement before cesarean hysterectomy for invasive placenta. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed of patients with invasive placenta treated with and without occlusion balloon placement. Preoperative occlusion balloons were placed in 90 patients; 61 patients were treated without balloon placement (control group). Baseline demographics, including patient age, gestational age at delivery, gravidity, parity, and number of previous cesarean sections, were not significantly different (P > .05). Of the balloon placement group, 56% had placenta percreta compared with 25% in the control group (P < .001), and 83% had placenta previa compared with 66% in the control group (P = .012). RESULTS Median blood loss was 2 L (range, 1.5-2.5 L) in the balloon placement group versus 2.5 L (range, 2-4 L) in the control group (P = .002). Patients with occlusion balloons were transfused a median of 2 U (range, 0-5 U) of packed red blood cells versus 5 U (range, 2-8 U) in patients in the control group (P = .002). In the balloon placement group, 34% had large volume blood loss > 2,500 mL versus 61% in the control group (P = .001), and 21% required blood transfusion > 6 U versus 44% in the control group (P = .002). Eight complications (9%) were attributed to occlusion balloon placement. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic internal iliac artery occlusion balloon placement reduces operative blood loss and transfusion requirements in patients undergoing hysterectomy for invasive placenta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of major obstetric haemorrhage managed with peripartum hysterectomy and/or interventional radiology (IR) in Belgium. To describe women characteristics, the circumstances in which the interventions took place, the management of the obstetric haemorrhage, the outcome and additional morbidity of these women. DESIGN Nationwide population-based prospective cohort study. SETTING Emergency obstetric care. Participation of 97% of maternities covering 98.6% of deliveries in Belgium. PARTICIPANTS All women who underwent peripartum hysterectomy and/or IR procedures in Belgium between January 2012 and December 2013. RESULTS We obtained data on 166 women who underwent peripartum hysterectomy (n=84) and/or IR procedures (n=102), corresponding to 1 in 3030 women undergoing a peripartum hysterectomy and another 1 in 3030 women being managed by IR, thereby preserving the uterus. Seventeen women underwent hysterectomy following IR and three women needed further IR despite hysterectomy. Abnormal placentation and/or uterine atony were the reported causes of haemorrhage in 83.7%. Abnormally invasive placenta was not detected antenatally in 34% of cases. The interventions were planned in 15 women. Three women were transferred antenatally and 17 women postnatally to a hospital with emergency IR service. Urgent peripartum hysterectomy was averted in 72% of the women who were transferred, with no significant difference in need for transfusion. IR procedures were able to stop the bleeding in 87.8% of the attempts. Disseminated intravascular coagulation secondary to major haemorrhage was reported in 32 women (19%). CONCLUSION The prevalence in Belgium of major obstetric haemorrhage requiring peripartum hysterectomy and/or IR is estimated at 6.6 (95% CI 5.7 to 7.7) per 10 000 deliveries. Increased clinician awareness of the risk factors of abnormal placentation could further improve the management and outcome of major obstetric haemorrhage. A case-by-case in-depth analysis is necessary to reveal whether the hysterectomies and arterial embolisations performed in this study were appropriate or preventable.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to report on a single center experience of managing patients affected by placenta previa major and/or accretism by embolizing uterine arteries immediately before the cesarean delivery to reduce blood loss and secondary the rate of hysterectomies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-nine patients have been prospectively enrolled. Inclusion criteria were radiological diagnosis of placenta anomalies and risk factors for peri/postpartum hemorrhage. The delivery was electively scheduled between the 35th week and the 36th week of pregnancy. The embolization procedure was performed in the gynecological operating room with a mobile C-arm by injecting calibrated microparticles 500-700 μm. A contrast-enhanced MRI was acquired in a subgroup of 10 patients 6 months after the delivery to evaluate the uterine wall status. RESULTS Hysterectomy had been performed in 43.5%; 52.2% did not require blood transfusions; 1.2 blood units per patient had been meanly transfused. The mean fluoroscopy beam-on time was 195 s per patient. The mean uterine dose was 26.75 mGy. No pH anomalies were measured from the umbilical cord blood; the Apgar score at 5 min was ≥8. The analysis of the neuro-developmental milestones showed normal cognitive development in all children at 6 months. The uterine wall enhancement evaluated with contrast-enhanced MRI 6 months after the embolization procedure showed preserved myometrial perfusion without area of necrosis. CONCLUSIONS In this series of patients, the predelivery uterine arteries' embolization was a safe and effective procedure; this may represent a technical alternative that interventional radiologists can consider when facing this challenging scenario.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Placenta accreta (PA), a severe complication during delivery, is closely linked with massive hemorrhage which could endanger the lives of both mother and baby. Moreover, the incidence of PA has increased dramatically with the increasing rate of cesarean deliveries in the past few decades. Therefore, studies evaluating the effects of different perioperative managements based on different modalities in the treatment of PA are necessary. Among the numerous treatment measures, prophylactic abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (AABO) in combination with cesarean section for PA seems to be more advantageous than others. However, up to now, all studies on AABO were almost retrospective. Current evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routinely using the AABO technology for control intraoperative hemorrhage in patients with PA. Thus, we hope to carry out a prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) study to confirm the effectiveness of the AABO technology in patients with PA. METHODS/DESIGN This trial is an investigator-initiated, prospective RCT that will test the superiority of AABO in combination with cesarean section compared to the traditional hysterectomy following cesarean section for parturients with PA. A total of 170 parturients with PA undergoing cesarean section will be randomized to receive either AABO in combination with cesarean section or the traditional hysterectomy following cesarean section. The primary outcome is estimated blood loss. The most important secondary outcome is the occurrence of cesarean hysterectomy during delivery; others include blood transfusion volume, operating time, neonate's Apgar scores (collected at 1, 5 and 10 min), length of stay in intensive care unit, total hospital stay, and balloon occlusion-relative data. DISCUSSION This prospective trial will test the superiority of AABO in combination with cesarean section compared to the traditional hysterectomy following cesarean section for parturients with PA. It may provide strong evidence about the benefits and risks of AABO in combination with cesarean section for parturients with PA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic abdominal aorta balloon occlusion in cases of placenta previa with abnormal placentation. METHODS In a retrospective study, data were analyzed for patients who had placenta previa with placenta accreta and underwent elective cesarean delivery (>34 weeks) with or without temporary aortic balloon occlusion at a center in Zhengzhou, China, between October 2015 and September 2016. The primary clinical outcomes were operative time, estimated blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, hemoglobin, hysterectomy, and hospitalization. RESULTS Among 69 eligible women, 38 had temporary balloon occlusion, and 31 had no balloon occlusion. Operative time, blood transfusion volume, change in hemoglobin, hysterectomy, and length of hospitalization did not differ. Although mean blood loss did not differ, fewer patients in the balloon group than the non-balloon group had an estimated blood loss of more than 1000 mL (24 [63%] vs 28 [90%]; P=0.009). In terms of different placental types, the estimated blood loss among women with placenta accreta and placenta increta was lower in the balloon group than in the non-balloon group (P<0.001 and P=0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION Prophylactic balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta reduced bleeding after cesarean delivery for women with abnormal placentation.
