Rare Case Report on Placenta Increta with Previous History of Uterine Artery Embolization for Arterio Venous Malformation
Abstract: This case study presents a challenging instance of placenta increta in a 31-year-old female, highlighting the complexities and critical decision-making involved in managing advanced placental attachment disorders. The patient, with a history of one live birth, secondary postpartum hemorrhage, and a spontaneous abortion complicated by uterine arterio-venous malformation, presented at 36 weeks and 6 days of gestation with abdominal pain. Examination indicated imminent labor, but non-reactive non-stress tests necessitated an emergency cesarean section. Intraoperatively, the failure to separate the placenta led to postpartum hemorrhage, urgently addressed through a cesarean subtotal hysterectomy. This intervention underscores the importance of prompt and decisive action in such high-risk scenarios. The case emphasizes the need for heightened awareness and preparedness in managing placenta increta, a condition with potentially life-threatening complications for both the mother and fetus.
