Case Report (n=1)
Prophylactic occlusive balloon catheters combined with subtotal hysterectomy and leaving the adherent placenta in situ may reduce blood loss and preserve the bladder in placenta percreta.
Faranesh et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Placenta previa percreta invading the urinary bladder (n=1). Prophylactic occlusive balloon catheters in internal iliac arteries, subtotal hysterectomy, leaving adherent placenta in situ was evaluated on Blood loss and bladder preservation. Prophylactic occlusive balloon catheters combined with subtotal hysterectomy and leaving the adherent placenta in situ avoided severe blood loss and preserved the bladder intact in a multigravida.
