Balloon to reduce bleeding during c-section in placenta accreta
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing a small balloon in a major blood vessel during a planned c-section can help reduce heavy bleeding in women with placenta accreta spectrum. If effective, it could make surgery safer and reduce the need for blood transfusions.

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 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 study looks at blood tests to predict if the placenta is too attached to the womb in women with placenta previa. The goal is to help plan safer deliveries.
This trial tests a surgery that aims to save the uterus in women with placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. It compares the standard conservative technique with adding special stitches to reduce bleeding.
This study tests a safe method using a tourniquet (a gentle band) during planned C-section to help manage placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus. The goal is to improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
This trial tests two emergency treatments to control heavy bleeding after childbirth when standard medicines haven't worked. One uses a small balloon placed inside the womb, and the other uses a special gauze that helps blood clot.
