Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS): diagnosis, clinical presentation, therapeutic approaches, and clinical outcomes
Abstract: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the abnormal adhesion of the placenta to the myometrium, with varying degrees of severity. Placenta accreta involves adhesion to the myometrium, placenta increta invades the myometrium, and placenta percreta extends through the serosa to adjacent organs. The condition is linked to deficient decidualization in scarred uterine tissue, and the risk increases when placenta previa is present and with each prior cesarean delivery. Other risk factors include advanced maternal age, IVF, short intervals between cesareans, and smoking. PAS incidence has risen due to the increase in cesarean deliveries. Placenta previa combined with PAS significantly raises the risk of severe peripartum bleeding, often necessitating a cesarean section with a total hysterectomy. Recognizing PAS prepartum is essential, with sonographic indicators including intraplacental lacunae and uterovesical hypervascularization. However, PAS can be present without sonographic signs, making clinical risk factors crucial for diagnosis. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach and proper infrastructure. This presentation covers PAS cases treated at University Hospital Freiburg, detailing patient conditions, diagnostic methods, treatments and outcomes
