Review Case ReportsSuccessful management of complete placenta previa after intrauterine fetal death in a second-trimester pregnancy by uterine artery embolization: case report and literature review.
A 27-year-old woman with complete placenta previa was referred at 22 weeks of gestation because of vaginal bleeding and fetal growth restriction. At 24 weeks, sudden fetal death occurred, but bleeding continued and transvaginal sonography revealed abundant periplacental blood flow in the uterine wall. ⋯ Total blood loss was only 149 ml. The present case suggests that UAE may be an option for patients with placenta previa who desire vaginal delivery after intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) in a second-trimester pregnancy.
