Use of the Atad catheter for the induction of labour in women who have had a previous Caesarean section--a case series.
Abstract The induction of labour of women with an unfavourable cervix who have had a previous Caesarean section, is challenging. Eight women who had a Caesarean section in a previous pregnancy had labour induced with an Atad catheter. Six out of eight women achieved labour, and two out of these six women had a vaginal delivery. An Atad catheter is an option for women needing induction of labour with an unfavourable cervix who have had a Caesarean section previously and are motivated to have a vaginal delivery.
