Management of Gestation with Abnormal Invasive Placenta Complicated by an Extra-preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes in a Tertiary Perinatal Centre

Aim. Assessment of methods for prolonging gestation after an extra-preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in a patient with abnormal invasive placenta and the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach for treatment of a combined obstetric pathology in a tertiary perinatal centre.

Results. A clinical case is reported of PROM at 22⁺⁶ weeks’ gestation in a patient with two caesarean scars on the uterus and abnormal invasive placenta. In a tertiary perinatal centre, pregnancy was prolonged to 36⁺³ weeks’ term. The period between PROM and delivery was 96 days. A planned caesarean section and metroplasty were performed in the setting of temporary balloon occlusion of common iliac arteries. Blood loss was 75 mL/kg. Placenta increta without chorioamnionitis was confirmed histologically. The patient stayed in the intensive care unit for two days and was discharged home on the 8th day. The newborn was assigned the Apgar score of 6/6. For two days, ventilatory support was rendered in a neonatal intensive care unit. The newborn was diagnosed with congenital pneumonia, the first-degree hypoxic-ischemic damage of the central nervous system and transferred to the second phase of nursing.

Conclusions. A multidisciplinary approach and high technology facilities in the setting of a tertiary perinatal centre allow to reduce perinatal losses and provide high-quality care to patients with an increased risk of massive blood loss with the capacity to manage organ-preserving operative delivery with full rehabilitation in the postoperative period.
