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 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 a surgical approach that aims to manage placenta accreta while possibly preserving the uterus. It is for pregnant women who have had a previous cesarean section and are diagnosed with this condition after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
This study tests a surgery that removes the part of the uterus where the placenta is attached and uses a towel to help stop bleeding. It aims to control bleeding while keeping the uterus, which may help women with placenta accreta avoid a hysterectomy.
This study compares two surgical techniques to manage placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. The goal is to find a safer way to control bleeding during delivery and possibly avoid removing the womb (hysterectomy).
This study uses a special ultrasound scoring system to help predict how severe placenta accreta may be and to plan for safer delivery outcomes. It aims to improve understanding of this condition that can cause heavy bleeding after childbirth.
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.
