Prophylactic use of Bakri balloon for placenta previa surgery: A simple procedure to prevent balloon prolapse

摘要

When evaluating the effectiveness of intrauterine balloon use, we usually define success as when the balloon achieves hemostasis without further invasive procedures, and not when one-time balloon use achieves it. Of the 70, hemostasis was achieved in 61 with one-time Bakri and in 8 with two-time Bakri, meaning that the Bakri balloon eventually achieved hemostasis in 69 (61 + 8: 99% (69/70)). Soyama et al. modestly stated a success rate of 87% but we believe it was 99%. We also often use the Bakri balloon pro- phylactically for PP. Their findings made us confident with our strategy.
