  • Title: Placenta accreta in a patient with a history of uterine artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage.
    Author: Kanter G, Packard L, Sit AS.
    Journal: J Perinatol; 2013 Jun; 33(6):482-3. PubMed ID: 23719249.
    Abstract:
    Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is used to treat various conditions from uterine leiomyoma to uncontrollable bleeding. We describe a case of placenta accreta after a prior delivery, which required UAE to control a postpartum hemorrhage. This case highlights the importance of both antenatal evaluation of placentation and heightened precaution for delivery in subsequent pregnancies for women who have undergone this procedure.
