Abstract

Abstract: Purpose: To compare n -butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and gelatine sponge (GS) as embolic materials for prophylactic pelvic arterial embolisation during caesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Material and methods: This retrospective study comprised 12 women (age range, 23–42 years; mean, 34.1 years) who underwent caesarean hysterectomy for PAS. Following caesarean delivery, bilateral uterine and non-uterine parasitic arteries were embolized with GS in the first four cases (GS group) and primarily with NBCA mixed with iodized oil in the subsequent eight cases (NBCA group). Procedure time for embolisation and hysterectomy and total blood loss were compared between the two groups using Welch's t -test. Results: Although procedure time for embolisation tended to be longer in the NBCA group than in the GS group (111 ± 47 min versus 71 ± 32 min, p =.11), that for hysterectomy was significantly reduced in the NBCA group when compared to the GS group (158 ± 42 min versus 236 ± 39 min, p =.02). Total blood loss was significantly lower in the NBCA group than in the GS group (1375 ± 565 mL versus 2668 ± 587 mL, p =.01). Conclusion: Procedure time for hysterectomy and total blood loss during caesarean hysterectomy can be reduced by using NBCA instead of GS in prophylactic pelvic arterial embolisation for PAS.
