Cesarean Hysterectomy for Abnormal Placentation Using Balloon Occlusion of the Common Iliac Artery: Case Series
Journal Title: Women's Health – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the management and safety of cesarean hysterectomy using common iliac artery balloon occlusion (CIABO) for placenta percreta/increta/accreta. Patients and Methods: We performed 4 cesarean hysterectomies at 33-36 weeks of gestation. All 4 patients had undergone cesarean section previously and had placenta previa. The patients then underwent cesarean hysterectomy using CIABO. Results: Two patients were ultimately diagnosed with placenta percreta, one with placenta increta and 1 with placenta accreta. The actual invasive depth of the placenta tended to be deeper than had been diagnosed before surgery. The volume of blood loss in the 3 patients whose balloons were placed in the common iliac artery from the start ranged from 1361-3851 ml (including amniotic fluid and fewer amounts of bleeding than these), and these patients received only autologous blood transfusion. All 4 patients were ultimately discharged from the hospital without any complications. Conclusion: We were able to control the blood loss well using CIABO during cesarean hysterectomy. We confirm that our method of managing cesarean hysterectomy for abnormal placentation can be conducted safely.
