Managing Placenta Accreta Spectrum: A case report on combining conservative care with uterine angioembolization

Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) stands out as one of the most significant complications in pregnancy, capable of causing maternal morbidity and mortality.

In this report, we aim to discuss a case involving unsatisfactory conservative care coupled with uterine angioembolization, resulting in multiple hospitalizations due to placental infection and eventual hysterectomy.

Both conservative and non-conservative approaches have been utilized to mitigate maternal complications and mortality associated with Placenta Accreta Syndrome. While uterus-preserving methods play a crucial role, leaving the placenta in situ can lead to numerous severe long-term complications. Previous Research highlights the limitations of conservative management in the case of placenta accreta, necessitating careful patient selection due to potential morbidity and the risk of secondary hysterectomy.

invasive placentation poses challenges in obstetrics, presenting a risk of severe maternal morbidity and mortality. Conservative management poses limitations and risks, emphasizing the need for further research and evidence-based guidelines to enhance the management of PAS.
