The effect of prophylactic balloon occlusion in patients with placenta accreta spectrum: a Bayesian network meta-analysis

ConclusionsPerforming PBOAA, PBOCIA, or PBOIIA in PAS patients is an effective way to minimize blood loss volume, while PBOAA and PBOIIA also reduce blood transfusion volume and hysterectomy rate. PBOAA is a notably more effective strategy to reduce blood loss volume than PBOIIA.Key Points• PBOAA, PBOCIA, and PBOIIA procedures can significantly reduce the blood loss volume compared to non-PBO intervention in PAS patients, of which PBOAA was more effective than the PBOIIA procedure.• PBOAA and PBOIIA could significantly reduce the blood transfusion volume and hysterectomy rate in contrast to the non-PBO intervention in patients with PAS.• According to our statistical treatment ranking, PBOAA was statistically superior in reducing blood transfusion volume, blood transfusion volume, and hysterectomy rate than other PBO procedures.
