Placenta Accreta, Increta, and Percreta - 05/03/13
, James M. Alexander, MDRésumé |
Placenta accreta is an abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine wall that can lead to significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of placenta accreta has increased 13-fold since the early 1900s and directly correlates with the increasing cesarean delivery rate.

Referral to a tertiary care center and the use of a multidisciplinary care team is recommended.
