  • Title: Temporary balloon occlusion of the common iliac artery: new approach to bleeding control during cesarean hysterectomy for placenta percreta.
    Author: Shih JC, Liu KL, Shyu MK.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2005 Nov; 193(5):1756-8. PubMed ID: 16260225.
    Abstract:
    A case of placenta percreta was referred at 31 weeks' gestation. We performed a cesarean hysterectomy preceded by placement of occlusive balloon catheters at bilateral common iliac arteries at 34 weeks' gestation. This simple and safe technique provides satisfactory efficacy for control of profuse bleeding during operation, with blood loss estimated at 800 mL.
