This is a randomized study to assess the efficacy of prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery occlusion performed prior to planned surgical management for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). The intervention group would receive balloon occlusion, ureteric stenting and caesaeran hysterectomy while the control group would undergo the same procedure, excluding balloon occlusion. The primary outcome is to demonstrate a three pint or greater reduction in pack cell transfusion requirement.
