Placenta accreta spectrum conservative management and coagulopathy: case series and systematic review.

Our findings highlight that conservative management with PAS in situ poses a risk of coagulopathy. Keeping the placenta in situ after delivery prolongs the risk factors that are integral to PAS. The pathophysiology behind coagulopathy is comparable to that of concealed placental abruption (CPA), due to the disrupted maternofetal interface and the collection of blood in the placenta. The presence of large placental lakes could thus be an indicator of developing coagulopathy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
