Successful Management of Two Cases of Placenta Accreta and a Literature Review: Use of the B-Lynch Suture and Bilateral Uterine Artery Ligation Procedures

INTRODUCTIONPlacenta accreta is an increasingly common complication of pregnancy that can result in massive hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATIONWe describe two cases of placenta accreta, with successful conservative management in a referral hospital in Tehran, Iran. In both cases, two procedures were performed: compression suture (B-Lynch) and a perfusion-decreasing procedure (bilateral uterine artery ligation). We also present the results of a narrative literature review. CONCLUSIONSThe double B-Lynch and uterine arterial ligation procedure in cases of abnormal placentation might be strongly considered in fertility preservation, coagulopathy, coexisting medical disease, blood access shortage, low surgical experience, distant local hospitals, and no help.
