Study summary

To compare the efficacy of lower uterine tamponade and partial lower myometrial resection in the management of intraoperative bleeding in cases with placenta accreta spectrum .

Read the detailed description

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) represents the spectrum of clinical conditions when part or whole of the placenta becomes abnormally adherent or invades the myometrium (1-2). Over the last 40 years, caesarean delivery rates around the world have risen from less than 10% to over 30%, and almost simultaneously a 10-fold increase in the incidence of PAS (3). PAS is one of the most dangerous conditions of the pregnancy as it is significantly associated with maternal morbidity and mortality (4).

Ultrasound imaging is the most commonly used technique to diagnose PAS disorders prenatally. There is also wide variation globally on the management of PAS disorders, with some centres opting for a radical approach, whereas others have proposed a range of conservative approaches (5).

The conservative approaches include one-step conservative surgery, leaving the placenta in situ, the Triple-P procedure, and transverse B-Lynch suture (1). Several techniques have been described for controlling massive bleeding associated with placenta previa caesarean sections ,including uterine packing with gauze ,balloon tamponades ,the B-Lynch suture,insertion of parallel vertical compression sutures, a square suturing technique and embolization or ligation of the uterine and internal iliac arteries , but there is awide variation in the success rate of these maneuvers. Over-sewing of the bleeding site is the most common procedure used for PPH management, but in many cases, the bleeding points located in the lower segment and cervical canal are too deep and their locations are unclear because of the severity of the bleeding(

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2024; primary completion for Aug 2026, 23 months later.

Of 45 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Placenta Accreta, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 41. This study's planned 23 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 45 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 41.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 28, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
