Synchronous autotransfusion during cesarean hysterectomy.
Placenta accreta is associated with major morbidities including massive hemorrhage. We report a cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta with synchronous autotransfusion using a standard cardiopulmonary bypass machine. This technique requires complete intraoperative heparinization yet has the advantage of autotransfusion of autologous clotting factors and platelets in addition to red blood cells.
