Case report: A novel variant in a Colombian patient with isolated cerebrovascular involvement in vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Introduction: To date, approximately 600 unique pathogenic variants have been reported in associated with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS). The objective of this study was to describe a patient with a novel variant in associated with vEDS.

Case Report: We describe the clinical history and thorough phenotyping of a patient with brain aneurysms and identified a novel pathogenic variant in .

Maternal outcomes according to the type of placenta previa in a high complexity hospital in Cali, Colombia. Retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To describe the frequency of maternal complications in pregnant women with major or minor placenta previa (PP), and to assess a potential association between PP type and the presence of severe maternal bleeding and other associated outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective descriptive cohort. The study included pregnant women with 20 weeks of gestation or more and a confirmed diagnosis of placenta previa who were seen in a high complexity hospital in Cali (Colombia), between January 2011 and December 2020.

Is There a Place for Family-centered Cesarean Delivery during Placenta Accreta Spectrum Treatment?

Objective:  Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a cause of massive obstetric hemorrhage and maternal mortality. The application of family-centered delivery techniques (FCDTs) during surgery to treat this disease is infrequent. We evaluate the implementation of FCDTs during PAS surgeries.

Placenta Accreta Spectrum Prenatal Diagnosis Performance: Are Ultrasound False-positive Results Acceptable in Limited-resources Settings?

Objective:  The immediate referral of patients with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) to specialized centers is recommended, thus favoring an early diagnosis and an interdisciplinary management. However, diagnostic errors are frequent, even in referral centers (RCs). We sought to evaluate the performance of the prenatal diagnosis for PAS in a Latin American hospital.

Internal manual compression of the aorta-an effective way to temporarily control pelvic bleeding in obstetrical hemorrhage.

Obstetrical hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death, and its treatment frequently involves surgical procedures. In the most serious cases, regardless of the etiology, the priority is to stop the bleeding and obtain the conditions to definitively repair the injury that generates the bleeding. Multiple options for achieving hemostasis have been described, but most of them require extensive training or technological resources that are not available in all hospitals.
