Objective: To determine whether the placement of an occlusion balloon catheter in the internal iliac artery could reduce bleeding and other related complications during cesarean delivery in patients with placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at two tertiary obstetric units of Lithuania. From January 2016 to November 2019 patients with placenta previa and antenatally suspected invasive placenta were included in the intervention group and underwent cesarean delivery with endovascular procedure. From January 2014 to December 2015 patients with placenta previa and suspected placenta accreta spectrum were included in the non-intervention group. The primary outcomes were reduction in intraoperative blood loss and transfusion volumes in the intervention group. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of hysterectomy and maternal complications. Results: Nineteen patients underwent cesarean delivery with preoperative endovascular procedure, and 47 women underwent elective cesarean delivery. The median intraoperative blood loss (1000 (400\u20134500) mL vs. 1000 (400\u20135000) mL; p = 0.616) and the need for red blood cell transfusion during operation (26% vs. 23%; p = 0.517) did not differ significantly between the patients groups. Seven patients in the intervention group and two patients in the non-intervention group underwent perioperative hysterectomy (p = 0.002). None of the patients had complications related to the endovascular procedure. Conclusion: The use of intermittent balloon occlusion catheter in patients with placenta pathology is a safe method but does not significantly reduce intraoperative blood loss during cesarean delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57040345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,2]],"date-time":"2021-04-02T10:34:09Z","timestamp":1617359649000},"page":"345","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Experience of Managing Suspected Placenta Accreta Spectrum with or without Internal Iliac Artery Balloon Occlusion in Two Lithuanian University Hospitals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5384-0738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Egle","family":"Savukyne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4513-4101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Liubiniene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9773-311X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zita","family":"Strelcoviene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruta Jolanta","family":"Nadisauskiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edita","family":"Vaboliene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6114-0312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Egle","family":"Machtejeviene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rytis","family":"Kaupas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Academy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, A.Mickevicius st. 7, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Department of Interventional Radiology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kauno Klinikos, Eiveniu st. 2, 50161 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dalia","family":"Lauzikiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos, Santariskiu st. 2, 08661 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-018-4957-4","article-title":"Bleeding control using intrauterine continuous running suture during cesarean section in pregnant women with placenta previa","volume":"299","author":"Jung","year":"2019","journal-title":"Arch.
