Abstract：Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of application of artery embolization in induced abortion with complete placenta previa.Method:Using standard Seldinger technique,35 pregnant women in their second and third trimester pregnancy with complete placenta previa required termination of pregnancy underwent super-selection to uterine artery embolization or internal iliac artery embolization and simultaneous induction of labor with rivanol combined with mifepristone. Result:Delivery of the fetus and its accessories achieved after 10-132 h(32.50 h±5.53 h) in 29 women,with postoperative and postpartum hemorrhage of (198.0±13.5)ml on average in 24 h,and another 5 required emergency cesarean delivery due to antepartum haemorrhage,one case required emergency cesarean after uterine artery embolization.The total 35 refused hysterectomy,and regular menstruation occurred on average of (46.00±3.45)d after the procedure. Conclusion:Pre-operative arterial embolization can make safe induction of labor for pregnant women in their second and third trimester pregnancy with complete placenta previa and prevent or reduce potential intra-operative bleeding.
