Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) used to be a rare pregnancy condition, but it now affects approximately 14,000 pregnancies annually, becoming a leading cause of maternal death. Yet why this happens is still not well understood. Placenta accreta occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall, and does not separate after birth, often resulting in life-threatening bleeding and requiring hysterectomy.
