Tourniquet for placenta accreta in C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new surgical technique for women with placenta accreta (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus). The technique uses a special band (tourniquet) to reduce bleeding during surgery, compared to the standard approach. If you have had a C-section before and want to keep your uterus for future children, this study may be an option for you.
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 studies a simpler, non-surgical approach to managing a condition called morbidly adherent placenta (where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus). It is for people who are at least 28 weeks pregnant, have placenta previa, and are not having heavy bleeding.
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 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.
This trial compares two surgical methods for managing placenta accreta spectrum (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall). It tests whether a less invasive approach (tamponade) works as well as removing part of the uterus (partial myometrial resection) in women having a cesarean section.
