Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical efficiency of uterine artery chemotherapy and embolization(UACE) in combination with mifepristone and misoprostol for induction of labor in placenta previa mid-pregnancy.
Methods Five placenta previa mid-pregnant women underwent UACE in combination with mifepristone and misoprostol for induction of labor.
Results The total labor time of the 5 women was 87-411(223.4±173.4)min.The discharge time of fetus was 31.58-49.17(32.32±17.7)h.The total blood loss was 100-300(144±87)ml during and after labor.
Conclusion UACE in combination with drugs is a safe and effective method for the induction of labor in placenta previa mid-pregnancy with few complications and less blood loss.
