Three cases of placental polyp successfully treated by hysteroscopic resection after uerine artery embolization (UAE) or iliac artery occlusion

Abstract

The placental polyp has been defined as an intrauterine polypoid or even pedunculated mass of retained placental tissue from an abortion or term pregnancy.  Most of the chorionic villi forming the placental polyp were necrotic or sclerotic and hyalinized.  A blind intrauterine operation was performed once, leading to hemorrhaging and hysterectomy.  We report three cases of placental polyp successfully treated by transcervical resection (TCR) after uerine artery embolization (UAE) or iliac artery occlusion.
