New surgery map for dangerous placenta condition tested
NCT ID NCT07283042
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new way to classify placenta accreta during surgery, aiming to guide the best surgical approach. Researchers will follow 60 pregnant people at risk, using ultrasound before surgery and a classification system during the operation. The goal is to see if this system improves outcomes like blood loss and complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a standardized way to classify placenta accreta during surgery, helping doctors choose the best procedure and reduce complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 participants) focused on classification, not a treatment. The system may not improve outcomes or be widely adopted.

Who is studied
This study will be comprised of pregnant people suspected of having PAS. PAS is a major obstetric complication associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality that is increasing in prevalence due to the rising rate of cesarean births, which are the biggest clinical risk factor
