Summary
Selective uterine artery embolization effectively prevents severe bleeding and hysterectomy in central placenta previa cases. This fertility-sparing technique reduces complications, ensuring positive outcomes for mothers and newborns.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Interventional Radiology
- Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Background:
- Central placenta previa, often requiring cesarean delivery, carries risks of peripartum hysterectomy (4%), significant blood loss, and increased maternal/neonatal morbidity.
- Conventional management may involve hysterectomy, compromising future fertility.
