Abstract
OBJECTIVE The most common treatment for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders is planned primary cesarean hysterectomy. However, other management strategies may improve outcomes and/or allow fertility preservation. The objective of this study was to describe the course and outcomes of patients with PAS managed by leaving the placenta in situ. STUDY DESIGN This is a series of 11 patients with PAS managed by leaving the placenta in situ at a single academic center in the United States from 2015 to 2022. The approach described involves delivery of the fetus via cesarean, no attempt at placental removal, closure of the hysterotomy, prophylactic intravenous antibiotics for up to 1 week, and close outpatient follow-up until the uterus is empty. RESULTS The uterus was successfully preserved in six (55%), minimally invasive hysterectomy was performed in four (36%), and abdominal hysterectomy was performed in 1 (9%). During cesarean delivery, the median estimated blood loss was 650mL (range: 200-1,000mL). The majority of patients had no vaginal discharge for several weeks after delivery, followed by brown or bloody discharge, and intermittent mild-to-moderate cramping. The median time to resolution of PAS was 18 weeks in patients with successful uterine preservation (range: 5-25 weeks). Indications for hysterectomy included hemorrhage (n=1), coagulopathy (n=1), endomyometritis (n=2), and pain (n=1), and these occurred at a median of 5 weeks postpartum (range: 1-25 weeks). Four patients had subsequent pregnancies of whom three were live births at or near term and one was a spontaneous abortion at 19 weeks. CONCLUSION Leaving the placenta in situ may be an appropriate management strategy for some carefully selected and counseled patients with PAS. KEY POINTS · Overall, 55% had uterine preservation (6/11).. · Minimally invasive approach in 80% of hysterectomies (4/5).. · Of patients, 67% with uterine preservation had subsequent pregnancies (4/6)..

Abstract
PROBLEM Although pregnant women with gestational diabetes (GD), morbidly adherent placenta (MAP), and pregnancy hypertension (pHT) diseases lead to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), little is known about their effect on mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in the umbilical cord. This study aimed to quantify and characterize MAIT cells and ILCs in the cord blood of pregnant women with GD, MAP, and pHT diseases. METHOD OF STUDY Cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll-Paque gradient. CD3+ TCRVα7.2+ CD161high cells and ILC subsets were quantified by flow cytometry. CBMCs were stimulated with PMA/Ionomycin and Golgi Plug for 4 h and stained for IFN-γ, TNF-α, and granzyme B. The stained cells were analyzed on FACS ARIA III. RESULTS Compared with healthy pregnancies, in the cord blood of the pHT group, elevated number of lymphocytes was observed. Moreover, the absolute number of IFN-γ producing CD4+ or CD4- subsets of CD3+ TCRVα7.2+ CD161high cells as well as those producing granzyme B were significantly elevated in the pHT group compared to healthy controls suggesting increased MAIT cell activity in the pHT cord blood. Similarly, in the MAP group, the absolute number of total CD3+ TCRVα7.2+ CD161high cells, but not individual CD4+ or negative subsets, were significantly increased compared with healthy controls' cord blood. Absolute numbers of total CD3+ TCRVα7.2+ CD161high cells and their subsets were comparable in the cord blood of the GD group compared with healthy controls. Finally, the absolute number of total ILCs and ILC3 subset were significantly elevated in only pHT cord blood compared with healthy controls. Our data also reveal that IFN-γ+ or granzyme B+ cell numbers negatively correlated with fetal birth weight. CONCLUSIONS CD3+ TCRVα7.2+ CD161high cells and ILCs show unique expansion and activity in the cord blood of pregnant women with distinct diseases causing IUGR and may play roles in fetal growth restriction.

Planned conservative management of placenta increta and percreta with prophylactic transcatheter arterial embolization and leaving placenta in situ for women who desire fertility preservation. Placenta 2020; 97:51-57. [PMID: 32792063 DOI: 10.1016/j.placenta.2020.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Revised: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of our study was to demonstrate planned conservative management of placenta increta and percreta in a single tertiary center. METHODS From April 2005 to July 2019, patients with placenta increta and percreta were managed conservatively at the Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. The severity of placenta invasion was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After delivery of the neonate, prophylactic transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was performed immediately. The placenta was left in situ and prophylactic antibiotics were administered during hospitalization. The patient profiles, outcomes, and complications were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Based on the MRI findings, twenty-one patients with placenta increta or percreta were included. With prophylactic TAE, the mean surgical blood loss was 854.7 ± 478.2 mL. The mean natural resorption time of residual placenta was 4.69 ± 1.65 months. Regarding maternal complications, 4 patients (19%) had delayed postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), 12 patients (57.1%) developed postpartum infections, 3 patients (14.3%) progressed to sepsis, 4 patients (19%) underwent surgical evacuation, and 4 patients (19%) underwent hysterectomy. No maternal mortality was reported. Main neonatal complications were prematurity and respiratory distress. Regarding fertility, 16 (76.1%) patients had return of menstruation, and one (4.7%) had a subsequent pregnancy resulting in a live birth. DISCUSSION Planned conservative management with prophylactic TAE and leaving placenta in situ is feasible and safe for women with placenta increta or percreta who desire fertility preservation. Delayed PPH and postpartum infection are common complications after conservative treatment.

Abstract
In the last 30 years, with increasing cesarean section rates, the incidence of the placenta accreta spectrum has also increased. It is estimated that by the year 2020 there will be nearly 9000 cases annually in the United States. Currently, no consensus exists regarding optimal management. Conventional treatment by cesarean-hysterectomy is challenging, with a high maternal morbidity due to massive hemorrhage, and surgical complications such as urinary tract, bowel and pelvic nerve injury, in addition to loss of fertility and its accompanying psychological trauma. Innovative approaches seek to preserve the uterus with the adherent placenta in situ, thus maintaining fertility and potentially reducing hemorrhage and adjacent organ injury. This review reports strategies for conservative treatment of such conditions, based on the current literature.
