Temporary Cross-Clamping of the Infrarenal Abdominal Aorta during Cesarean Hysterectomy to Control Operative Blood Loss

Abstract

AbstractTemporary cross-clamping of the infrarenal abdominal aorta to reduce bleeding during hysterectomy following cesarean section in patients with placenta previa-accreta is a relatively simple procedure; therefore, it can be an option when intravascular balloon catheter placement is impossible or encountered massive bleeding of the unexpected placenta accreta.
