Placenta Accreta Spectrum: The Role of Interventional Radiology in Multidisciplinary Management

Abstract

Placenta accreta spectrum is increasing in prevalence and poses significant risks to obstetric patients. This article defines characteristics, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of placenta accreta spectrum, highlighting interventional radiology's role in its management as part of a multidisciplinary approach.

Keywords
