INTRODUCTION: Placenta increta is a potentially life-threatening condition that may complicate a first @entity5852 in rare occasion. However, the therapeutic value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for the conservative management of this disorder is not described. CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old @entity1 (gravida 3, para 1) with significant obstetric history for one previous lower segment cesarean section and one dilatation and curettage for missed abortion had uncomplicated dilatation and curettage for missed abortion. Eight weeks after curettage, the @entity1 presented with increased amounts of @entity3556 . Image diagnostic modalities localized the heterogeneous mass within the myometrium in the fundal portion of the uterine corpus. Initially, @entity2548 formation after abortion was suspected. However, an elevated serum @entity3566 value indicated the presence of retained placental tissue and gave the diagnosis of persistent @entity8052 after a first @entity5852 . Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization with @entity4316 was initiated to achieve immediate hemostasis and cytocidal effects on the placental tissue. The post-interventional course was uneventful. Twenty days after chemoembolization, the serum @entity3566 value decreased to a normal level and the @entity66 disappeared on ultrasonography without secondary hemorrhagic complications. CONCLUSIONS: After precise diagnostic imaging, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization is a useful minimally invasive procedure to achieve uterine preservation in @entity1 with @entity8052 masquerading as @entity2548 after a first @entity5852 .
