Our experience using the novel PAC, in the current series and across multiple centers in India, demonstrates that the sizeable abdominal aorta can be clamped safely and effectively without retroperitoneal dissection-with no incidence of vascular injury so far. However, we would urge only designated centers with experienced obstetrician-gynecologists-backed by a urologist, adequate blood bank and intensive care facilities-to tackle PAS procedures using the PAC technique.
