Abstract
- <bold>Objective: </bold>To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) during cesarean delivery for women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta.<bold>Methods: </bold>A retrospective analysis of women with placenta previa admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China, for elective cesarean between February 2003 and July 2016. Postpartum estimated blood loss, blood transfusion, hysterectomy, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) duration, and postoperative stay were compared between control women who underwent cesarean delivery only and women who underwent prophylactic intraoperative UAE during cesarean.<bold>Results: </bold>There were 28 and 26 women in the UAE and control group, respectively. There were no differences in hysterectomy incidence (P=0.291), or duration of ICU stay (P=0.085), or postoperative hospitalization (P=0.668) between the groups; however, the incidence of DIC was lower in the UAE group (P=0.035). Mean estimated blood loss (P=0.018) and blood transfusion (P=0.011) were also lower in the UAE group. No serious complications were associated with the endovascular procedures.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Prophylactic intraoperative UAE seemed to effectively reduce blood loss, need for blood transfusion, and incidence of DIC among women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta.
