Abstract
Recent population studies have shown that placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders remain undiagnosed before delivery in half to two-thirds of cases. In a series from specialist diagnostic units in the USA, around onethird of cases of PAS disorders were not diagnosed during pregnancy. Maternal mortality and morbidity are reduced when women with PAS disorders, particularly the invasive forms—placenta increta or percreta—deliver in a center of excellence by a multidisciplinary care team with experience in managing the surgical risks and perioperative challenges presented by these disorders. Transfer to a center of excellence, however, relies on both recognition of the women at risk of PAS disorders and on accurate prenatal diagnosis.
