Prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac arteries to treat abnormal placentation: a cautionary case

Complication of Femoral Arterial Thrombosis Following Failure of Balloon Tamponade and Massive Blood Loss During Hysterectomy in a Case of Abnormal Placentation

“…Left popliteal arterial thrombus was first reported after common iliac balloon catheterization at cesarean hysterectomy requiring thromboembolectomy. Another case of iliac artery thrombosis and acute limb ischemia has been reported after 7 h of cesarean hysterectomy [4]. This is the first reported case of femoral artery embolus following IIOBC placement during management of placenta accreta.…”

“…1 a MRI of patient showing placenta accrete. b Femoral artery thrombus after thromboembolectomy [3,4]. Left popliteal arterial thrombus was first reported after common iliac balloon catheterization at cesarean hysterectomy requiring thromboembolectomy.…”

“…The risk of thrombosis can be minimized with early sheath and catheter removal with intense monitoring postoperatively for its timely detection and necessary intervention [4].…”

Iliac artery rupture related to balloon insertion for placenta accreta causing maternal hemorrhage and neonatal compromise

“…Vaginal ischemia 7 and thromboembolism of the iliac, femoral, and popliteal arteries has been described. [7][8][9][10][11] Vascular rupture is less commonly described as a complication. Bishop described a case of a leaking pseudoaneurysm that was discovered after abdominal closure.…”

Revisao de 15 casos submetidos a oclusao temporaria bilateral de arteria iliaca interna em pacientes com alto risco para hemorragia obstetrica

“…The procedure is performed immediately before caesarean and may or may not be combined with transcatheter embolization [5][6][7] .…”
