Comparing two ways to reduce bleeding during c-section for placenta accreta
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two methods (a cervical tourniquet and tying off the uterine artery) to control bleeding during a c-section for women with placenta accreta. If you are having an elective c-section at 36 weeks or later for this condition, this trial may help reduce blood loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been told by ultrasound that you have a condition called placenta accreta (where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb wall).
- Your pregnancy must be with just one baby, and the baby must be alive.
- Your scheduled c-section should happen at 36 weeks or later.
- You cannot have already decided to have your uterus removed (hysterectomy).
- You cannot have other uterine problems like fibroids or cancer, a bleeding disorder, or severe obesity (BMI over 40).
- You should not be in labor or have vaginal bleeding before the planned surgery.

This study compares three different surgical methods to safely treat placenta accreta spectrum, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus. The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer complications.
This trial tests whether a balloon placed in a major artery (REBOA) can help reduce dangerous blood loss during cesarean delivery for women with placenta accreta. If you have this condition and are planning a c-section at 34 weeks or more, this study may offer an extra safety measure.
This trial studies what happens after a planned C-section when placenta accreta spectrum is diagnosed by ultrasound and the uterus is kept. It may help doctors understand the safest way to manage this condition and what outcomes to expect.
This trial tests if giving a special medication during surgery can help reduce blood loss in women with a condition called PAS (where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus) who are having a C-section and their uterus removed. It may make the surgery safer.
This study compares two ways of making the cut (incision) in the uterus during a first cesarean section to see which one helps the uterus heal better. Researchers want to know if a higher or lower incision leads to fewer defects in the uterine wall afterward.
This trial tests a specialized surgical technique to treat placenta accreta spectrum (a serious condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus) while preserving your uterus instead of removing it. The goal is to help you keep your ability to have future pregnancies.
