108: 3D ultrasound: the best view of placenta accreta

Abstract

Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP)/Placenta accreta is an ever increasing pregnancy complication associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The incidence continues to rise concomitantly with increasing cesarean and repeat cesarean delivery rates. Unrecognized MAP is associated with worsening maternal / fetal morbidity and higher rates of mortality. Optimal management of women with placenta accreta requires accurate prenatal diagnosis to minimize these complications. We sought to compare 2D ultrasound (US), 3D US/ Power Doppler, and MRI as effective screening strategies.
