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
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
BACKGROUND Morbidly adherent placenta, also known as placenta accreta spectrum, is associated with severe maternal morbidity and mortality. Multiple adjunctive procedures have been proposed to improve outcomes, and at many institutions, interventional radiologists will play a role in assisting obstetricians in these cases. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of women with morbidly adherent placenta who underwent cesarean hysterectomy with aortic balloon occlusion or internal iliac artery balloon occlusion catheters, compared with cesarean hysterectomy with surgical ligation of the iliac arteries, or cesarean hysterectomy without adjunctive procedures. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of women with morbidly adherent placenta treated with cesarean hysterectomy was performed at 5 institutions from May 2014 to April 2018. The balloon occlusion group had either prophylactic aortic or iliac balloons placed prior to cesarean hysterectomy. Comparison groups included those who underwent internal iliac artery ligation prior to hysterectomy or a control group if they underwent cesarean hysterectomy without adjuvant procedures. Evaluated outcomes include estimated blood loss, transfusion requirements, intensive care unit admission, and adverse event rates. RESULTS There were 171 women with morbidly adherent placenta included in the study. Twenty-eight had balloon placement prior to cesarean hysterectomy, 18 had intraoperative internal iliac artery ligation, and there were 125 control women who underwent cesarean hysterectomy without any adjunctive procedures. Compared with the women who underwent cesarean hysterectomy without adjunctive procedures, women who underwent aortic or iliac artery balloon occlusion prior to hysterectomy had significantly lower estimated blood loss (30.9% decrease, P < .001), transfusion requirements (76.8% decrease, P < .001), intensive care unit admission rates (0% vs 15.2%, P < .001), and intensive care unit stay lengths (0.0 vs 3.1 days, P < .001). Compared with women who underwent surgical ligation of the internal iliac arteries prior to hysterectomy, women who underwent aortic or iliac artery balloon occlusion prior to cesarean hysterectomy had lower estimated blood loss (54.2% decrease, P < .01), transfusion requirements (90.5% decrease, P < .001), operating room times (40.0% decrease, P < .01), intensive care unit admissions rates (0% vs 77.8%, P < .001), intensive care unit stay lengths (0.0 vs 1.4 days, P < .001), and adverse events (3.6% vs 44.4%, P < .01). CONCLUSION Aortic and iliac artery balloon occlusion are associated with lower estimated blood loss, transfusion requirements, intensive care unit admission rates, and adverse event rates compared with women who underwent internal iliac artery ligation prior to cesarean hysterectomy or women who had no adjunctive interventions prior to cesarean hysterectomy for morbidly adherent placenta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbidly adherent placenta is potentially life-threatening, often requiring technically difficult surgery and large blood loss. Use of intravascular balloon occlusion with or without hysterectomy to reduce blood loss is increasing despite associated morbidity and lack of evidence of efficacy. AIMS To evaluate if prophylactic use of vascular balloon occlusion at the time of planned caesarean hysterectomy for antenatally diagnosed morbidly adherent placenta reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements, and determine rate of associated complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of PubMed and Medline covering January 1997 to December 2018 was conducted. Key words included placenta accreta, increta, percreta, and morbidly adherent placenta, balloon, interventional radiology, embolization, and caesarean hysterectomy. RESULTS Nineteen studies were included. Only three studies had appropriate controls: two with balloon placement in the internal iliac arteries and one in the common iliac arteries. One showed no difference in blood loss or transfusion requirements, the second showed a reduction in cases of percreta only and the third reported reduction in blood loss. Only few studies reported objective measures of blood loss. Blood loss and transfusion were still high (2.26 L and 3.79 units, respectively) despite use of vascular balloons. Balloon catheter use was associated with a 7.5% rate of complications; 4.5% were minor and 3.0% major. CONCLUSIONS There is a large body of poor data evaluating efficacy of prophylactic vascular balloon occlusion in cases of planned caesarean hysterectomy for known morbidly adherent placenta. Limited relevant data provide only scant evidence that these techniques are beneficial in reducing blood loss, despite associated significant complications.

Abstract
Background Placenta accreta is an important factor in maternal morbidity and mortality and is responsible for approximately 64% of emergency hysterectomy cases and about 2/3 of cases of puerperal bleeding. Objectives To describe a series of cases of prophylactic uterine catheterization performed to prevent significant postpartum bleeding or during caesarean delivery in pregnant women with a previous diagnosis of accretion. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of medical records of cases of uterine artery catheterization performed during elective or emergency caesarean sections of patients at high risk of postpartum bleeding. Results The catheterization of uterine arteries procedure was performed in fourteen patients. Mean duration of surgery and hospital stay were 214.64 minutes (± 42.16) and 7 days, respectively. All patients underwent obstetric hysterectomy. No patient required embolization. There was no bleeding or need to revisit any patient and there were no complications related to puncture. There was one fetal death and no maternal deaths. Conclusions In this study, prophylactic uterine artery catheterization with temporary occlusion of blood flow proved to be a safe technique with low fetal mortality, no maternal mortality, and a low rate of blood transfusion and can be considered an important and effective therapeutic strategy for reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women with anomalous placental attachment. Furthermore, the possibility of uterine preservation with the use of this method is an excellent contribution to therapeutic management of this group of patients. However, randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of routine use of the technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential benefit of interventional radiology (IR) in improving the outcome of women undergoing surgery for a placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL databases were searched for studies comparing outcomes of women with a prenatal diagnosis of PAS who underwent an IR procedure before surgery vs those who did not, using a robust collection of terms relating to PAS. The primary outcome was intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL). Secondary outcomes were the number of transfused units of packed red blood cells (PRBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), platelets and cryoprecipitate, operation time, length of hospital stay, EBL ≥ 2.5 L, PRBC transfused ≥ 5 units, surgical complications, bladder or ureteral injury, relaparotomy, infection, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and complications related to endovascular catheter placement. Only studies reporting on the incidence of, or the mean difference in, the observed outcomes in women affected by a PAS disorder who had vs those who did not have an IR procedure before surgery were considered for inclusion. All outcomes were explored in the overall population of women with a prenatally diagnosed PAS disorder and in those undergoing hysterectomy. Quality assessment of each included study was performed using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. The GRADE methodology was used to assess the quality of the body of retrieved evidence. RESULTS Fifteen studies (958 women with PAS) were included. In women who underwent IR before surgery, compared with those who did not, mean EBL (mean difference (MD), -1.02 L; 95% CI, -1.60 to -0.43 L; P < 0.001) and the risk of EBL ≥ 2.5 L (odds ratio (OR), 0.18; 95% CI, 0.04-0.78; P = 0.02) were significantly lower. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the other outcomes explored. On subgroup analysis of pregnancies complicated by PAS undergoing hysterectomy, EBL (MD, -0.68 L; 95% CI, -1.24 to -0.12 L; P = 0.02) and the number of transfused FFP units (MD, -1.66; 95% CI, -2.71 to -0.61; P = 0.02) were significantly lower in women who had an endovascular IR procedure compared with controls. Furthermore, women undergoing IR had a significantly lower risk of EBL ≥ 2.5 L (OR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.02-0.47; P = 0.004). Overall, complications related to the placement of an endovascular catheter occurred in 5.3% (95% CI, 2.6-8.9; I2 , 65.3%) of pregnancies undergoing IR. Overall quality of evidence, as assessed by GRADE, was very low. CONCLUSIONS The current available data provide encouraging evidence that IR procedures may be associated with lower EBL and need for transfusion in pregnancies undergoing surgery for a PAS disorder. However, given the overall very low quality of the evidence, further large studies are needed in order to confirm the beneficial role of IR in improving the outcome of these women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has risen over the past decades, primarily in response to increasing Caesarean section rates. The surgical management of PAS is associated with significant morbidity, including hemorrhage and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This study sought to evaluate the surgical outcomes of a PAS operative approach. METHODS A single-centre retrospective chart review of all Caesarean hysterectomies for PAS by an assigned surgeon over a 16-year period was performed. Surgical outcomes were described (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2). RESULTS The described surgical approach involves a midline skin incision, high midline hysterotomy, a rapid single-layer uterine closure with no placental removal attempt, constant cephalad uterine traction, and liberal choice of subtotal hysterectomy. A total of 47 patients were included: 19 (40.4%) with placenta accreta, 14 (29.8%) with placenta increta, and 14 (29.8%) with placenta percreta. Mean estimated blood loss was 1416 ± 699 mL, and mean operative time was 112 ± 49 minutes. Overall, 16 patients (34.0%) required blood transfusion, and 4 patients (8.5%) required ICU admission. The average hospitalization was 5.2 days, with no re-admission within 30 days. The use of internal iliac balloons did not result in a difference in blood loss or operative time (P > 0.05). Patients with placenta percreta had significantly more blood loss (P = 0.02) and longer operative time (P = 0.007) compared with those with placenta accreta and increta. CONCLUSION The current surgical model for planned Caesarean hysterectomy for PAS exhibits a low complication rate. Further research is needed for developing a standardized approach to the management of PAS.

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.

Factors Contributing to Massive Blood Loss on Peripartum Hysterectomy for Abnormally Invasive Placenta: Who Bleeds More? Obstet Gynecol Int 2016; 2016:5349063. [PMID: 27630716 PMCID: PMC5005569 DOI: 10.1155/2016/5349063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 08/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction. To identify factors that determine blood loss during peripartum hysterectomy for abnormally invasive placenta (AIP-hysterectomy). Methods. We reviewed all of the medical charts of 11,919 deliveries in a single tertiary perinatal center. We examined characteristics of AIP-hysterectomy patients, with a single experienced obstetrician attending all AIP-hysterectomies and using the same technique. Results. AIP-hysterectomy was performed in 18 patients (0.15%: 18/11,919). Of the 18, 14 (78%) had a prior cesarean section (CS) history and the other 4 (22%) were primiparous women. Planned AIP-hysterectomy was performed in 12/18 (67%), with the remaining 6 (33%) undergoing emergent AIP-hysterectomy. Of the 6, 4 (4/6: 67%) patients were primiparous women. An intra-arterial balloon was inserted in 9/18 (50%). Women with the following three factors significantly bled less in AIP-hysterectomy than its counterpart: the employment of an intra-arterial balloon (4,448 ± 1,948 versus 8,861 ± 3,988 mL), planned hysterectomy (5,003 ± 2,057 versus 9,957 ± 4,485 mL), and prior CS (5,706 ± 2,727 versus 9,975 ± 5,532 mL). Patients with prior CS (-) bled more: this may be because these patients tended to undergo emergent surgery or attempted placental separation. Conclusion. Patients with intra-arterial balloon catheter insertion bled less on AIP-hysterectomy. Massive bleeding occurred in emergent AIP-hysterectomy without prior CS.
