Utilizations and outcomes of intra ‐arterial balloon occlusion at cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum

ConclusionsThere is a wide range in the utilization of intra-arterial balloon occlusion at cesarean hysterectomy for PAS based on patient, pregnancy, and facility factors, which implies that there is a lack of universal practice guidelines in this surgical procedure. Whether the use of intra-arterial balloon occlusion in the severe forms of PAS improves surgical outcome merits further investigation.
