A placenta in which the chorionic villi invade the myometrium.
A case of placenta increta managed by unilateral uterine artery and ovarian artery ligation followed by B-Lynch brace suturing of the uterus to control bleeding from the placenta bed has been reported by Chaudhary et al7.
B-Lynch brace suture: an effective method of conservative surgical management for placenta increta.
Placenta praevia as a cause of severe haemorrhage was found in three cases and one had placenta increta.
Although fetal DNA cannot usually be detected in maternal plasma more than 2 h after delivery (6), we observed more than 1000 genome-equivalents of DYS14 gene per milliliter in the plasma of our patient with placenta increta 14 h after delivery.
Late complication due to placenta increta left in situ and management options.
In this patient, we were unable to remove a small part of the placenta after vaginal delivery, and placenta increta was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.
These four cases were treated with cesarean hysterectomy alone without attempting to remove placenta, and pathological diagnosis verified 1 placenta increta and 3 placenta percreta.
Of these, approximately 75% to 80% are placenta accreta vera, about 17% are placenta increta and the remaining 5% or so are placenta percreta.
1) Usually it is associated with trophoblastic tumor or pathological invasion of placenta through uterine wall, for example placenta increta or percreta.
In Placenta Increta, it invades the myometrium and in Placenta Percreta, it penetrates through myometrium.
