Abstract
BACKGROUND Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is a critical and severe obstetric condition associated with high risk of intraoperative massive hemorrhage and cesarean hysterectomy. Severe obstetric hemorrhage is currently one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide. Prophylactic balloon occlusions, including prophylactic balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta (PBOAA) and prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac arteries (PBOIIA), are the most common means of controlling hemorrhage in patients with PAS disorder, but their effectiveness is still debated. OBJECTIVE A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of prophylactic balloon occlusion during cesarean section (CS) in improving maternal outcomes for PAS patients. SEARCH STRATEGY MEDLINE, EMBASE, OVID, PubMed and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from the inception dates to June 2022, using the keywords "placenta accreta spectrum disorder/morbidly adherent placenta (placenta previa, placenta accreta, placenta increta, placenta percreta), balloon occlusion, internal iliac arteries, abdominal aorta, hemorrhage, hysterectomy, estimated blood loss (EBL), packed red blood cells (PRBCs)" to identify the systematic reviews or meta-analyses. SELECTION CRITERIA All articles regarding PAS disorders and including the application of balloon occlusion were included in the screening. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two independent researchers performed the data extraction and assessed study quality. EBL volume and PRBC transfusion volume was regarded as the primary endpoints. Random and fixed effects models were used for the meta-analysis (RRs and 95% CIs), and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used for quality assessments. MAIN RESULTS Of 429 studies identified, a total of 35 trials involving the application of balloon occlusion for patients with PAS disorder during CS were included. A total of 19 studies involving 935 patients who underwent PBOIIA were included in the PBOIIA group, and 851 patients were included in control 1 group. Ten studies including 428 patients with PAS who underwent PBOAA were allocated to the PBOAA group, and 324 patients without PBOAA were included in control 2 group. Simultaneously, we compared the effect on PBOAA and PBOIIA including seven studies, which referred to 267 cases in the PBOAA group and 313 cases in the PBOIIA group. The results showed that the PBOIIA group had a reduced EBL volume (MD: 342.06 mL, 95% CI: -509.90 to -174.23 mL, I2 = 77%, P < 0.0001) and PRBC volume (MD: -1.57 U, 95% CI: -2.49 to -0.66 U, I2 = 91%, P = 0.0008) than that in control 1 group. With regard to the EBL volume (MD: -926.42 mL, 95% CI: -1437.07 to -415.77 mL, I2 = 96%, P = 0.0004) and PRBC transfusion volume (MD: -2.42 U, 95% CI: -4.25 to -0.59 U, I2 = 99%, P = 0.009) we found significant differences between the PBOAA group and control 2 group. Prophylactic balloon occlusion (PBOAA and PBOIIA) had a significant effect on reducing intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion volume in patients with PAS. Moreover, PBOAA was more effective than PBOIIA in reducing intraoperative blood loss (MD: -406.63 mL, 95% CI: -754.12 to -59.13 mL, I2 = 92%, P = 0.020), but no significant difference in controlling PRBCs (MD: -3.48 U, 95% CI: -8.90 to 1.95 U, I2 = 99%, P = 0.210) between the PBOIIA group and the PBOAA group. Hierarchical analysis was conducted by differentiating gestational weeks and maternal age to reduce the high heterogeneity of meta-analysis. Hierarchical analysis results demonstrated the heterogeneities of the study were reduced to some extent, and gestational weeks and maternal age might be the cause of increased heterogeneity. CONCLUSION Prophylactic balloon occlusion is a safe and effective method to control hemorrhage and reduce PRBC transfusion volume for patients with PAS, and PBOAA could reduce more intraoperative blood loss than PBOIIA. However, we found no statistical difference in lessening packed red blood cell transfusion volume for PAS patients. Hence, preoperative prophylactic balloon occlusion is the recommended application for PAS patients in obstetric CSs. Furthermore, PBOAA is preferred for controlling intraoperative bleeding in patients with corresponding medical conditions.

Prophylactic Radiologic Interventions for Postpartum Hemorrhage Control in Women With Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Obstet Gynecol 2024; 144:315-327. [PMID: 38954828 PMCID: PMC11321610 DOI: 10.1097/aog.0000000000005662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the association between prophylactic radiologic interventions and perioperative blood loss during cesarean delivery in women with placenta accreta spectrum disorder through a systematic review and network meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES On January 3, 2023, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. We also checked ClinicalTrials.gov retrospectively. Prophylactic radiologic interventions to reduce bleeding during cesarean delivery involved preoperative placement of balloon catheters, distal (internal or common iliac arteries) or proximal (abdominal aorta), or sheaths (uterine arteries). The primary outcome was volume of blood loss; secondary outcomes were the number of red blood cell units transfused and adverse events. Studies including women who received an emergency cesarean delivery were excluded. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Two authors independently screened citations for relevance, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of individual studies with the Cochrane Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tool. TABULTATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS From a total of 1,332 screened studies, 50 were included in the final analysis, comprising 5,962 women. These studies consisted of two randomized controlled trials and 48 observational studies. Thirty studies compared distal balloon occlusion with a control group, with a mean difference in blood loss of -406 mL (95% CI, -645 to -167). Fourteen studies compared proximal balloon occlusion with a control group, with a mean difference of -1,041 mL (95% CI, -1,371 to -710). Sensitivity analysis excluding studies with serious or critical risk of bias provided similar results. Five studies compared uterine artery embolization with a control group, all with serious or critical risk of bias; the mean difference was -936 mL (95% CI, -1,522 to -350). Reported information on adverse events was limited. CONCLUSION Although the predominance of observational studies in the included literature warrants caution in interpreting the findings of this meta-analysis, our findings suggest that prophylactic placement of balloon catheters or sheaths before planned cesarean delivery in women with placenta accreta spectrum disorder may, in some cases, substantially reduce perioperative blood loss. Further study is required to quantify the efficacy according to various severities of placenta accreta spectrum disorder and the associated safety of these radiologic interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aims to compare prophylactic common iliac artery (CIA) temporary clamping and preoperative balloon occlusion for managing placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders. STUDY DESIGN Between January 2019 and June 2020, 46 patients with PAS disorders were included. Of them, 26 patients were offered CIA balloon occlusion (Group A), while temporary CIA clamping was done for the other 20 patients (Group B). Primary outcomes were procedure-related complications, and secondary outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative complications, reoperation rates, total procedure time, blood loss, and amount of blood transfusion. RESULTS Blood loss was statistically non-significant higher in group B than in group A (p-value = 0.143). Only one patient in group A and three in group B needed reoperation. The bleeding continued for a mean of 1.6 days in group A and 1.7 days in group B, with non-significant statistical differences between both groups p value = 0.71. Nine patients in group A (34.6%) and four in group B (20%) required ICU admission. The mean Apgar score was 7 and 6.6 in babies of group A and group B patients, respectively. The median number of allogeneic blood transfusions performed was two in patients in group A and 1 in group B (p-value = 0.001). CONCLUSION Both techniques offer good choices for patients with PAS to decrease mortality and morbidity rates. The selection of a better technique depends on institutional references and physicians' experience.

Abstract
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a significant cause of maternal mortality globally, necessitating prompt and efficient management. This review provides a comprehensive exploration of endovascular treatment dimensions for both primary and secondary PPH, with a focus on uterine atony, trauma, placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), and retained products of conception (RPOC). Primary PPH, occurring within 24 h, often results from uterine atony in 70% of causes, but also from trauma, or PAS. Uterine atony involves inadequate myometrial contraction, addressed through uterine massage, oxytocin, and, if needed, mechanical modalities like balloon tamponade. Trauma-related PPH may stem from perineal injuries or pseudoaneurysm rupture, while PAS involves abnormal placental adherence. PAS demands early detection due to associated life-threatening bleeding during delivery. Secondary PPH, occurring within 24 h to 6 weeks postpartum, frequently arises from RPOC. Medical management may include uterine contraction drugs and hemostatic agents, but invasive procedures like dilation and curettage (D&C) or hysteroscopic resection may be required.Imaging assessments, particularly through ultrasound (US), play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), except for uterine atony, where imaging techniques prove to be of limited utility in its management. Computed tomography play an important role in evaluation of trauma related PPH cases and MRI is essential in diagnosing and treatment planning of PAS and RPOC.Uterine artery embolization (UAE) has become a standard intervention for refractory PPH, offering a rapid, effective, and safe alternative to surgery with a success rate exceeding 85% (Rand T. et al. CVIR Endovasc 3:1-12, 2020). The technical approach involves non-selective uterine artery embolization with resorbable gelatine sponge (GS) in semi-liquid or torpedo presentation as the most extended embolic or calibrated microspheres. Selective embolization is warranted in cases with identifiable bleeding points or RPOC with AVM-like angiographic patterns and liquid embolics could be a good option in this scenario. UAE in PAS requires a tailored approach, considering the degree of placental invasion. A thorough understanding of female pelvis vascular anatomy and collateral pathways is essential for accurate and safe UAE.In conclusion, integrating interventional radiology techniques into clinical guidelines for primary and secondary PPH management and co-working during labour is crucial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Abnormalities of placental implantation, which make up the spectrum of placenta accreta, are associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality due to massive bleeding during delivery. Placing aortic occlusion balloons helps control the bleeding, facilitating surgical intervention. A new device, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), minimizes the risks and complications associated with the placement of traditional aortic balloons and is also efficacious in controlling bleeding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness, efficacy, and safety of REBOA in puerperal bleeding due to abnormalities of placental implantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between November 2019 and November 2021, our interventional radiology team placed six REBOA devices in six women scheduled for cesarean section due to placenta accrete. RESULTS Mean blood loss during cesarean section after REBOA (3507.5 mL) was similar to the amounts reported for other aortic balloons. The mean number of units of packed red blood cells required for transfusion was 3.5. Using REBOA provided the surgical team with adequate conditions to perform the surgery. There were no complications derived from REBOA, and the mean ICU stay was <2 days. CONCLUSION The technical characteristics of the REBOA device make it a safe and useful alternative for controlling massive bleeding in patients with placenta accreta.

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
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is one of the most dangerous conditions in pregnancy and is increasing in frequency. The risk of life-threatening bleeding is present throughout pregnancy but is particularly high at the time of delivery. Although the exact cause is unknown, the result is clear: Severe PAS distorts the uterus and surrounding anatomy and transforms the pelvis into an extremely high-flow vascular state. Screening for risk factors and assessing placental location by antenatal ultrasonography are essential for timely diagnosis. Further evaluation and confirmation of PAS are best performed in referral centers with expertise in antenatal imaging and surgical management of PAS. In the United States, cesarean hysterectomy with the placenta left in situ after delivery of the fetus is the most common treatment for PAS, but even in experienced referral centers, this treatment is often morbid, resulting in prolonged surgery, intraoperative injury to the urinary tract, blood transfusion, and admission to the intensive care unit. Postsurgical complications include high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder, pelvic pain, decreased quality of life, and depression. Team-based, patient-centered, evidence-based care from diagnosis to full recovery is needed to optimally manage this potentially deadly disorder. In a field that has relied mainly on expert opinion, more research is needed to explore alternative treatments and adjunctive surgical approaches to reduce blood loss and postoperative complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE The placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) score calculated by the scoring system may predict patients with PAS. We aim to find the relationship between estimated blood loss and the PAS score. Further, find the inflection point, identify PAS patients with placenta previa who were at risk for major bleeding. METHODS The PAS patients with placenta previa, as diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound, were divided into two groups according to their PAS scores using a new scoring system. Blood loss, transfusion requirements, the rate of Intra-Abdominal Balloon Occlusion (IABO), and other indicators were analyzed between groups. RESULTS The estimated blood loss, intraoperative transfusion, postoperative transfusion, operation time, and hospitalization time significantly increased in the group with a PAS score ≥ 9 (P < 0.05). The inflection point analysis revealed that a significant increase in estimated blood loss occurred when the PAS score was beyond 10 (crude) or 6 (adjusted for age, body mass index, and IABO). CONCLUSION There was a non-linear relationship between estimated intraoperative blood loss and PAS score. When the PAS score was greater than 9, hemorrhage, the risk of major bleeding, the need for transfusions, and the placement of an abdominal aortic balloon all increase significantly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) can induce severe life-threatening obstetric hemorrhage. Herein, we conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis of previous studies to evaluate the relative benefits of different prophylactic balloon occlusion (PBO) procedures. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from inception to July 2021. Blood loss volume, blood transfusion volume, and hysterectomy rate were regarded as the primary endpoints. The data were pooled using a Bayesian network and traditional pairwise meta-analysis. RESULTS Fifty-nine articles with a total sample size of 5150 patients were included. Compared with no PBO (non-PBO) intervention, PBO of the abdominal aorta (PBOAA, mean difference(MD) - 1.02, 95% credible interval (CrI) - 1.4 to - 0.67), common iliac artery (PBOCIA, MD - 0.84; 95%CrI - 1.36 to - 0.06) and internal iliac artery (PBOIIA, MD - 0.42; 95%CrI - 0.72 to - 0.13) significantly lowered blood loss volume, with PBOAA being more effective than PBOIIA (MD - 0.60; 95%CrI - 1.05 to - 0.17). PBOAA and PBOIIA also significantly decreased blood loss volume (MD - 2.33; 95%CrI - 3.74 to - 0.94, MD - 1.57; 95%CrI - 2.77 to - 0.47 respectively) and hysterectomy rate (OR 0.31; 95%CrI 0.16 to 0.54, OR 0.53; 95%CrI 0.29 to 0.92 respectively). PBOAA has the highest probability of being more effective in reducing the blood loss volume, blood transfusion volume, and hysterectomy rate. CONCLUSIONS Performing PBOAA, PBOCIA, or PBOIIA in PAS patients is an effective way to minimize blood loss volume, while PBOAA and PBOIIA also reduce blood transfusion volume and hysterectomy rate. PBOAA is a notably more effective strategy to reduce blood loss volume than PBOIIA. KEY POINTS • PBOAA, PBOCIA, and PBOIIA procedures can significantly reduce the blood loss volume compared to non-PBO intervention in PAS patients, of which PBOAA was more effective than the PBOIIA procedure. • PBOAA and PBOIIA could significantly reduce the blood transfusion volume and hysterectomy rate in contrast to the non-PBO intervention in patients with PAS. • According to our statistical treatment ranking, PBOAA was statistically superior in reducing blood transfusion volume, blood transfusion volume, and hysterectomy rate than other PBO procedures.

Utilizations and outcomes of intra-arterial balloon occlusion at cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2021; 100:2234-2243. [PMID: 34622939 DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study examined national-level trends, characteristics, and perioperative outcomes of women who had intra-arterial balloon occlusion at cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a population-based retrospective observational study that queried the National Inpatient Sample from October 2015 to December 2018. Study population was women who underwent hysterectomy at cesarean delivery for PAS (n = 6440 in 806 centers). Exposure allocation was the use of intra-arterial balloon occlusion. Main outcome measures were (a) characteristics associated with intra-arterial balloon occlusion use, and (b) perioperative outcome including hemorrhage, blood transfusion, coagulopathy, shock, urinary tract injury, intra-arterial balloon occlusion-related complication (arterial injury, arterial thrombosis, and lower extremities ischemia), and death, assessed in multivariable analysis. RESULTS Intra-arterial balloon occlusion was used in 420 (6.5%) women in 64 (7.9%) centers. Utilization of intra-arterial balloon occlusion during cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta decreased significantly over time (from 6.3% to 3.1%, p < 0.001), but not in placenta increta (from 12.8% to 9.3%, p = 0.204) or placenta percreta (from 21.3% to 17.5%, p = 0.344). In a multivariable analysis, patient factors (younger age, earlier year, obesity, diabetes mellitus), pregnancy factors (placenta increta/percreta, previous cesarean delivery, placenta previa, and early gestational age), and facility factors (large bed capacity, urban teaching status, and Northeast/West regions) represented the independent characteristics for using the intra-arterial balloon occlusion (all, p < 0.05). In a classification-tree model, the absolute difference in intra-arterial balloon occlusion use among 18 utilization patterns was 48% (range, 0%-48%). In perioperative outcome analysis, women who received intra-arterial balloon occlusion were more likely to have coagulopathy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.43) and arterial thrombosis (aOR 9.82) in placenta accreta, but less likely to have hemorrhage (aOR 0.25) in placenta increta, and blood transfusion (aOR 0.60) and urinary tract injury (aOR 0.28) in placenta percreta compared with those who did not (all, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is a wide range in the utilization of intra-arterial balloon occlusion at cesarean hysterectomy for PAS based on patient, pregnancy, and facility factors, which implies that there is a lack of universal practice guidelines in this surgical procedure. Whether the use of intra-arterial balloon occlusion in the severe forms of PAS improves surgical outcome merits further investigation.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy and postoperative recovery between uterine artery embolization (UAE) and infrarenal aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) in planned cesarean sections for placenta accreta spectrum disorders. Material/Methods A retrospective analysis using the clinical data of 62 patients with placenta previa combined with placenta accreta for planned cesarean between January 2014 and December 2019 was performed at the First People’s Hospital in Lianyungang. Thirty-five cases undergoing UAE during cesarean section were defined as group A, while the other 27 cases undergoing IABO were defined as group B. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters including intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion volume, radiation duration, radiation dose, hysterectomy rate, operation duration, Intensive Care Unit hospitalization, complications, and neonatal outcomes as well as the maternal recovery during follow-up were compared between the 2 groups. Results Intraoperative blood loss, transfusion volume, radiation time, radiation dose, hysterectomy rate, duration of surgery, Intensive Care Unit admission, and complications were higher in group A than group B, with differences being statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in birth weight, 1-min Apgar score, neonatal asphyxia rate, admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, breastfeeding time, duration of postpartum lochia, and data related to menstruation between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions IABO, which was more effective than UAE in cesarean section of patients with placenta accreta spectrum, could be further applied in treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the efficacy and safety of abdominal aortic (AA) balloon occlusion versus internal iliac arteries (IIA) balloon occlusion in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders. METHODS Databases of Embase, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were systematically searched from inception to May 2020. The relevant literature was screened and the quality was assessed. RevMan software 5.3 was used to analyze the data. RESULTS Six studies involving 239 patients in AA occlusion and 281 patients in IIA occlusion were included. The results demonstrated that the intraoperative hemorrhage volume (MD - 410.61 ml, 95% CI -779.74 to -41.47 ml, p < 0.001), balloon dilatation duration (MD -5.34 min, 95% CI -9.91 to -0.77 min, p = 0.02) and fetus radiation dose (MD-20.81 mGy, 95% CI -31.84 to -9.78 mGy, p < 0.001) were significantly less in AA occlusion compared to IIA occlusion. There was no significant difference in the rate of lower extremity thrombosis between AA occlusion and IIA occlusion (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.02 to 2.21, p = 0.19); similarly, no significant differences were found in blood transfusion volume (MD -344.50 ml, 95% CI -735.74 to 46.74 ml, p = 0.08), the rate of hysterectomy (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.22 to 4.44, p = 0.99) and other outcome variables. CONCLUSION The available data demonstrated AA occlusion was more effective in reducing intraoperative hemorrhage volume and fetus radiation dose compared with IIA occlusion in patients with PAS disorders. Larger studies or randomized controlled trials are needed to further assert this evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Placenta previa describes a placenta that extends partially or completely over the internal cervical oss. Placenta previa is one of the leading causes of widespread postpartum hemorrhage and maternal mortality worldwide. Another cause of bleeding in pregnant women is Placenta accreta spectrum. Therefore, the aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the effect of prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac arteries in patients with placenta previa or placental accreta spectrum (PAS). METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, to identify and select relevant studies, the SID, MagIran, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were searched, using the keywords of internal iliac artery balloon, placenta, previa, balloon, accreta, increta and percreta, without a lower time limit and until 2020. The heterogeneity of the studies was examined using the I2 index, and subsequently a random effects model was applied. Data analysis was performed within the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (version 2). RESULTS In the review of 29 articles with a total sample size of 1140 in the control group, and 1225 in the balloon occlusion group, the mean difference between the two groups was calculated in terms of Intraoperative blood loss index (mL) and it was derived as 3.21 ± 0.38; moreover, in 15 studies with a sample size of 887 in the control group, and 760 in the balloon occlusion group, the mean difference between the two groups in terms of gestation index (weeks) was found as 2.84 ± 0.49; and also with regards to hysterectomy balloon occlusion after prophylactic closure of the iliac artery, hysterectomy (%) balloon occlusion was calculated as 8.9 %, and this, in the hysterectomy control group (%) was obtained as 31.2 %; these differences were statistically significant and showed a positive effect of the intervention (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of this study show that the use of prophylactic internal iliac artery balloon occlusion in patients with placenta previa or Placenta accreta spectrum has benefits such as reduced intraoperative blood loss, reduced hysterectomy and increased gestation (weeks), which can be considered by midwives and obstetricians.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2021; 258:23-28.

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
Objective Placenta percreta is an extremely high-risk obstetric condition often associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. To date, there is no consensus on its management. This article aimed to identify an optimum management option to improve maternal outcomes in patients with placenta percreta. Material and Methods This was an observational study conducted at a tertiary care institute from October 2019 to June 2020. A well-defined plan of preoperative, bilateral, uterine artery catheter placement, cesarean delivery (CD) of the baby followed by uterine artery embolization (UAE), and elective delayed hysterectomy after 2-4 weeks, was made by a multidisciplinary team. Demographic variables such as age, parity, period of gestation, presenting complaints, imaging findings, mode of management, intraoperative findings, blood loss, the requirement for blood and blood products, and complications were noted. Results We encountered seven cases of placenta percreta over a period of nine months. UAE was performed in 6/7 patients. UAE was not performed in one patient as she presented to the emergency department in shock. Elective delayed hysterectomy was performed after 2-4 weeks in three patients, three patients required emergency hysterectomy (two during CD and one on the seventh postoperative day) and one patient was managed conservatively by leaving the placenta in situ after CD and UAE. Patients who underwent UAE had notably less intraoperative blood loss and requirement of blood and blood products than the patient who could not receive UAE. During cesarean hysterectomy, blood loss was 1,700 mL in embolized (case 4) vs 3,000 mL in unembolized patient (case 7). In embolized patients, the median blood loss during CD (case 1,2,3,5,6) was 200 mL (interquartile range: 165-200 mL) and during delayed elective hysterectomy (case 1,3,5) was 150 mL (range: 125-225 mL). Blood loss in case 2 was 1,000 mL during emergency hysterectomy on the 7th day of CD and UAE. The blood loss was appreciably higher in patients who underwent immediate cesarean hysterectomy rather than elective delayed hysterectomy. Conclusion Placenta percreta, if not managed in a preplanned manner, may lead to disastrous maternal outcomes. Prophylactic devascularization during CD and leaving the placenta in situ followed by elective delayed hysterectomy, might be a reasonable management option in most severe cases of placenta percreta.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the estimated fetal radiation dose during prophylactic internal iliac arterial occlusion in patients with abnormal placenta and to estimate the risk of radiation induced cancer in child age. METHODS Prophylactic occlusion of the internal iliac arteries during Caesarean section was performed in 42 patients with placenta praevia and/or placenta accreta spectrum. Fogarty embolectomy catheters were used for prophylactic occlusion of the internal iliac arteries. All procedures were performed in the hybrid operating room using Philips Allura Xper FD 20 X-ray system. Low dose X-ray fluoroscopy (7.5 frames per second) was used. The CODE (Conceptus dose estimation) Software was used to estimate the fetal dose and the risk of radiation induced carcinoma. RESULTS Fluoroscopy times required for insertion of Fogarty catheters were 0.5-4.2 min (mean: 1.7 min, median: 1.5 min). The estimated radiation dose to the fetus was 0.26-3.36 mGy (mean: 1.49 mGy, median: 1.25 mGy). The risk of radiation induced cancer in child age was 0.01-0.04% (mean 0.02%, median 0.01%). One patient developed thrombosis of a common femoral artery. CONCLUSION Prophylactic occlusion of the internal iliac arteries is a simple and safe procedure with minimal risk of complications and with a very low estimated radiation dose to the fetus.

Minimizing surgical blood loss at cesarean hysterectomy for placenta previa with evidence of placenta increta or placenta percreta: the state of play in 2020. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2020; 223:322-329.

Abstract
The evolution of multidisciplinary team-based care for women with placenta accreta spectrum disorder has delivered stepwise improvements in clinical outcomes. Central to this overall goal is the ability to limit blood loss at surgery. Placement of inflatable balloons within the pelvic arteries, most commonly in the anterior divisions of the internal iliac arteries, became popular in many centers, at the expense of prolonging surgical care and with attendant risks of vascular injury. In tandem, the need to expose pelvic sidewall anatomy to safely identify the course of the ureters re-popularized the alternative strategy of ligating the same anterior divisions of the internal iliac arteries. With incremental gains in surgical expertise, described in 5 steps in this review, our teams have witnessed a steady decline in surgical blood loss. Nevertheless, a subset of women has the most severe form of placenta accreta spectrum, namely placenta previa-percreta. Such women are at risk of major hemorrhage during surgery from vessels arising outside the territories of the internal iliac arteries. These additional blood supplies, mostly from the external iliac arteries, pose significant risks of major blood loss even in experienced hands. To address this risk, some centers, principally in China, have adopted an approach of routinely placing an infrarenal aortic balloon, with both impressively low rates of blood loss and an ability to conserve the uterus by resecting the placenta with the affected portion of the uterine wall. We review these literature developments in the context of safely performing elective cesarean hysterectomy for placenta previa-percreta, the most severe placenta accreta spectrum disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess accuracy and reproducibility of MRI diagnosis of invasive placentation (IP) in high-risk patients and to evaluate reliability of MRI features. Secondary aim was to evaluate impact of interventional radiology (IR) on delivery outcomes in patients with IP at MRI. METHODS 26 patients (mean age 36.24 y/o,SD 6.16) with clinical risk-factors and echographic suspicion of IP underwent 1.5 T-MRI. Two readers reviewed images. Gold-standard was histology in hysterectomised patients and obstetric evaluation at delivery for patients with preserved uterus. Accuracy and reproducibility of MRI findings were calculated. RESULTS Incidence of IP was 50% (13/26) and of PP was 11.54% (3/26). MRI showed 100% sensitivity (95% CI = 75.3-100%) and 92.3% specificity (95% CI = 64.0-100%) in the diagnosis of IP. Gold-standard was histology in 10 cases and obstetric evaluation in 16. MRI findings with higher sensitivity were placental heterogeneity, uterine bulging and black intraplacental bands. Uterine scarring, placental heterogeneity, myometrial interruption and tenting of the bladder showed better specificity. MRI inter-rater agreement with Cohen's K was 1. 11 patients among 14 with MRI diagnosis of IP received IR assistance with positive impact on delivery outcomes in terms of blood loss, red cells count, intense care unit length of stay, days of hospitalisation and risk of being transfused. CONCLUSION MRI is an accurate and reproducible technique in prenatal diagnosis of IP. MRI helps planning a safe and appropriate delivery eventually assisted by IR, which positively affects foetal and maternal outcomes. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The adoption of MRI evaluation in patients with high risk of invasive placentation allows a more accurate diagnosis in terms of both presence of the disease and its extension to or through or even beyond the myometrium. This led to a better dedicated delivery management with eventual adoption of interventional radiology with a global positive effect on foetal and maternal outcomes.

Abstract
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders are an increasing health problem in many parts of the world. They are an important risk factor for adverse maternal outcomes related to delivery, with a reported 18-fold increase in maternal morbidity. Profuse haemorrhage after attempting to remove the placenta is the most frequent complication and can lead to major maternal morbidity and ultimately to maternal death. Morbidity can also arise from the multiple procedures required to treat PAS disorders. Intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, infection, and prolonged hospitalization are common in these patients. Long-term complications related to infertility and psychological disturbances can also occur and may have a strong and long-lasting impact on women's health. Antenatal diagnosis allows for appropriate scheduling of delivery and referral to a specialized centre and has been shown to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate safety and efficacy of intra-aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) versus internal iliac artery balloon occlusion (IIABO) for cesarean delivery in coexisting placenta accreta and placenta previa. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2006 to 2019, 60 pregnant women who had undergone preoperative IABO (n = 28) and IIABO (n = 32) for cesarean delivery in coexisting placenta accreta and placenta previa were retrospectively identified, and their medical records and relevant imaging were reviewed. RESULTS Maternal characteristics (age, gravidity, previous cesarean delivery, gestational age, and neonatal weight) were similar in both groups. Estimated blood loss, volume of blood transfusion, length of hospitalization, and rate of hysterectomy were not significantly different between the groups. Operation time (the duration of cesarean delivery and hysterectomy, p < 0.05), total time of balloon occlusion (p < 0.01), and fetal radiation dose (p < 0.001) in the IABO group were less than in the IIABO group. No severe complications related to the balloon occlusion procedure were noted in either group. CONCLUSION IABO and IIABO are safe and effective options for cesarean delivery in patients with combined placenta accreta and placenta previa. The average operation time, balloon occlusion time, and fetal radiation dose in patients with IABO are less than in patients with IIABO. There were no complications related to balloon occlusion of the aorta or internal iliac artery.

Abstract
Background Severe obstetric haemorrhage caused by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) results in significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The effectiveness of prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery in PAS patients remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective case-control study to investigate the clinical effectiveness of this treatment. Methods The clinical data of 104 patients with PAS complicated with placenta previa who delivered by caesarean section between January 2016 and January 2019 were collected, and the patients were divided into two groups. The study group (48 cases) underwent internal iliac artery preset balloon occlusion before caesarean section and uterine artery embolisation according to the bleeding status after surgery, while the control group (56 cases) did not undergo internal iliac artery preset balloon occlusion before caesarean section. Results The operation and hospitalisation times in the study group were longer than those in the control group. Additionally, the hysterectomy rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group. No significant differences in blood loss, blood transfusion volume, urinary system injury, postoperative ICU transfer rate, or neonatal scores were identified between the groups. Among the patients without invasive placenta (placenta increta and percreta), blood loss was lower in the study group, and the caesarean hysterectomy rate did not significantly differ between the groups. Among the patients with invasive placenta, blood loss and the caesarean hysterectomy rate did not significantly differ between the groups. The risk of hysterectomy in the study group was related to invasive placenta penetration, a large area of placental invasion, or abnormal vascular filling. One patient in the study group had a thrombus in the left lower extremity artery. Conclusions Balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery is effective for haemostasis of placenta previa in the absence of invasive placenta. For patients with invasive placenta, especially placenta percreta, a large area of placental invasion or abnormal vascular filling suggests the need for hysterectomy. The risks of the prophylactic use of internal iliac artery balloon occlusion include vascular injury and thrombus formation.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether bilateral common iliac artery (CIA) temporary clamping reduces blood loss during cesarean-hysterectomy of placenta percreta cases. STUDY DESIGN A total of 32 women, who underwent cesarean-hysterectomy under bilateral CIA temporary clamping (n = 12) and without any arterial clamping or ligation (control group, n = 20) due to placenta percreta in Gaziantep University Hospital were retrospectively evaluated. The intra- and postoperative outcomes such as blood loss, blood transfusion and complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Age, parity, body-mass-index and gestational-age were similar in the two groups. The estimated blood loss was lower in the temporary clamping of CIA group than the control group (595 ± 172 mL vs 1450 ± 662 mL, P < 0.001). The number of intraoperative packed-red-blood-cells (0.17 ± 0.58 units vs 1.85 ± 1.46 units, P = 0.002) and fresh-frozen-plasma (0.17 ± 0.58 units vs 1.7 ± 1.49 units, P = 0.005) transfusions were lower in the CIA temporary clamping group than the control group. The rate of women, who received blood/blood products were significantly lower in the CIA temporary clamping group compared to the control group (75 % vs 16 %, P = 0.001). Duration of operation was longer in the CIA temporary clamping group (140 ± 38 min vs 90 ± 25 min, p = 0.001). No complication or maternal death was encountered during this study. CONCLUSION Bilateral CIA temporary clamping method reduces the intraoperative blood loss and the amount of intraoperative blood/blood product transfusions during cesarean-hysterectomy due to placenta percreta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic internal iliac artery balloon occlusion combined with Pituitrin intra-arterial infusion in the control of postpartum hemorrhage in women with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). METHODS This is a prospective and non-randomized controlled study. The participants were assigned into three groups: without balloon catheterization (non-BC) group, balloon catheterization (BC) group, and Pituitrin combined with balloon catheterization (PBC) group. The primary outcomes were estimated blood loss (EBL) and the units of transfused packed red blood cells (PRBC). The secondary outcome was the incidence of hysterectomy. RESULTS A total of 100 participants were recruited between August 2013 and November 2018 and assigned into the respective groups as follows: 27 in the non-BC group, 22 in the BC group, and 51 in the PBC group. No statistical differences were found in demographic characteristics among the three groups. There was a trend of lower EBL, PRBC, and hysterectomy rate in the BC group than those in the non-BC group, while all values showed no significant differences (all p > 0.05). Patients in the PBC group had significantly lower EBL, PRBC, and hysterectomy rate compared with those in the non-BC group (all p < 0.05). Linear regression analysis revealed that the PBC (vs. others) was negatively correlated with EBL and the non-BC (vs. others) independently predicted more EBL. CONCLUSIONS Balloon occlusion combined with Pituitrin infusion is an effective treatment method which significantly reduced EBL, PRBC, and hysterectomy rate in patients with PAS. KEY POINTS • Internal iliac artery balloon occlusion combined with Pituitrin intra-arterial infusion can significantly decrease EBL, PRBC, and hysterectomy rate during cesarean section in patients with PAS. • Cesarean section without balloon occlusion and placenta accreta depth are two independent risk factors for EBL in patients with PAS.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether MRI features are able to predict massive hemorrhage of patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). A total of 40 patients with suspected PAS after ultrasound examination were subjected to MRI. Of these, 29 patients were confirmed as having PAS. MRI data were analyzed independently by two radiologists in a blinded manner. Inter-observer agreement was determined. The 29 confirmed patients were divided into two groups (moderate and massive hemorrhage) according to the estimated blood loss (EBL) and blood transfusion, and the MRI features were compared between the two groups. The EBL, as well as blood transfusion, between the patients with and without each MRI feature were compared. The inter-observer agreement between the two radiologists for the 11 MRI features had statistical significance (P<0.05). Intra-placental thick dark bands and markedly heterogeneous placenta were the most important MRI features in predicting massive hemorrhage and blood transfusion (P<0.05). The difference in EBL between the patients with and without focal defect of the uteroplacental interface (UPI) was significant (P<0.05). The differences in blood transfusion between the patients with and without myometrial thinning, disruption of the inner layer of the UPI, increased placental vascularity and increased vascularity at the UPI were significant (P<0.05). These results indicate that MRI features may predict massive hemorrhage of patients with PAS, which may be helpful for pre-operative preparation of PAS patients.

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.
