CONCLUSION
Mid-cavity VAD performed by experienced operators appears to be a
reasonable alternative to a C-section, with a success rate above 80 %
in our study. The risk score established in this study appears to be
effective in identifying women at risk of failure. The utilization of
this score could help obstetricians to better select women requiring a
transfer to an operating theatre and additional precautions before a
mid-cavity VAD is performed. It could also improve the conditions
preceding a C-section and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
