Abstract

Placenta accreta is a pathologic condition of early placentation that has been studied by clinicians and pathologists for nearly 100 years. The main effect is a loss of the normal plane of cleavage from the uterine wall, resulting in massive haemorrhage when attempts are made at removing the placenta manually at delivery. Excessive remodelling of the radial and arcuate arteries in the invasive forms of placenta accreta spectrum increases the risk of complications (Jauniaux et al., AJOG, 2018;218:75-87).
