Abstract

(Anaesthesia. 2017;72:853–858) Effective prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging has aided in the development of multidisciplinary management strategies for these patients, with the goal of obtaining the best outcomes for both the mother and neonate. Although cesarean hysterectomy is the predominant management technique chosen by obstetricians for abnormal placentation, massive hemorrhage is still relatively common and can lead to increased maternal morbidity and mortality. The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of prophylactic placement of internal iliac artery balloon catheters for reducing hemorrhage and transfusion requirements in women with placenta accreta undergoing cesarean section.
