Abstract EN
Background.
Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is increasing in incidence and is commonly associated with maternal hemorrhage and cesarean hysterectomy.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) may be utilized in the conservative management of placenta percreta to potentially reduce blood loss.
The incidence of complications from UAE in the conservative management of placenta percreta is poorly described.
To our knowledge, we present the first reported case of buttock necrosis in this setting.
Case.
A 39-year-old gravida nine para two with placenta percreta who underwent conservative management with UAE complicated by right buttock necrosis.
Conclusion.
While UAE may potentially decrease blood loss, it is not without risk.
More studies must be performed in order to quantify those risks and determine the clinical utility of UAE.
