Feasibility of HIFU for Management of Placenta Accreta (HIFU-ACCRETA) (HIFU-ACCRETA)
Perioperative Evaluation of High Intensity Focalized Ultrasound for Adjuvant Management of Placenta Accreta: a Clinical Feasibility Study
Placental accretion during pregnancy refers to an abnormally deep insertion of the placenta into the uterus, leading to the impossibility of removing the placenta without inducting uterine or surrounding organs lesions. The management of these patients is complex, with two options during caesarean section: hysterectomy or uterine conservative surgery in which the placenta is let in the uterine cavity. These are both at risk of complications, including severe hemorrhage.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) principle is based on the focusing of ultrasonic waves in a focal zone causing a rapid rise in temperature in the targeted area. This focus results in the creation of a coagulation necrosis tissue lesion. This procedure is guided in real time by an integrated ultrasound imaging cell.
The investigators hypothesized that HIFU shots would accelerate the process of placental involution when the placenta is let in the uterine cavity, increasing the chances of uterine preservation and reducing the infectious and hemorrhagic risks in the short and medium term. The aim of this study is to confirm the feasibility and safety of the use of HIFU as a per-caesarean adjuvant treatment for management of placenta accrete let in the uterus for a conservative treatment.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Per-caesarean HIFU shots
Adjuvant treatment with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) performed the day of the scheduled childbirth, after confirmation of placenta accreta, and after fetal extraction by caesarian section.
|
HIFU shots will be performed on the placental tissue to produce necrotic lesions of approximately 30% of the total volume.
A latency time of 2 minutes between each shot will be observed to avoid the accumulative heat effect, and to ensure optimal positioning of the treatment probe.
The maximum duration of the operating time for HIFU shooting shall not exceed 60 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Success of HIFU per-caesarean shots
Time Frame: Up to 30 days after procedure
|
Number of patients for whom: the probe is positioned in contact with the uterine serosa; and, one or more lesions of at least 1 cm each are visible on intraoperative ultrasound; and, total intervention time is 60 minutes maximum; and, no lesion are visible on the uterus; and, constants are maintained during the intervention; and, no related complication occurred during the intervention.
|
Up to 30 days after procedure
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Ultrasound characteristics of placental lesions produced over time
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after procedure
|
Up to 6 months after procedure
|
|
MRI characteristics of placental lesions produced over time
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after procedure
|
Up to 6 months after procedure
|
|
Characteristics of lesions produced by macroscopic and microscopic pathological examination of the placenta (only in case of hysterectomy)
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after procedure
|
Up to 6 months after procedure
|
|
Spontaneous uterine vacuity
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after procedure
|
evaluated by endovaginal ultrasound examination.
This examination will be supplemented by a liquid contrast ultrasound in accordance with standard clinical practices to identify the possible presence of synechia
|
Up to 6 months after procedure
|
Spontaneous uterine vacuity delay
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after procedure
|
measured in daytime.
This is an estimate.
After surgery on the uterus (e.g.
hysterectomy, hysteroscopy, aspiration-curetage endo-uterin) it is considered that spontaneous uterine emptiness is not obtained.
|
Up to 6 months after procedure
|
Occurrence of a complication (hemorrhage, infection or other)
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after procedure
|
Up to 6 months after procedure
