Conservative Management of Placenta Increta Treated with Selective Uterine Artery Embolization: Review of Two Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Placenta increta is a condition characterized by abnormal adherence of the placenta owing to entire or partial absence of the decidua basalis. It is generally recognized during difficult placental removal at the time of delivery. It is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy due to massive hemorrhage, uterine perforation, and infection and thus often a hysterectomy is required. We review two cases of placenta increta conservative managed successfully by selective uterine artery embolization.

Background. Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is increasing in incidence and is commonly associated with maternal hemorrhage and cesarean hysterectomy. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) may be utilized in the conservative management of placenta percreta to potentially reduce blood loss. The incidence of complications from UAE in the conservative management of placenta percreta is poorly describe...
