    Season 4 - Caesarean Scar Pregnancy - in conversation with Prof Ilan Timor-Tristch and Prof Andrea Kaelin Agten

    In this episode we are delighted to talk with Prof Ilan Timor-Tristch and Prof Andrea Kaelan Agten about CSP.  As a precursor to Placenta Accreta, CSP is a very rare and serious complication where the pregnancy implants and grows over or into a previous c-section scar in the lower front part of the womb. A CSP can develop into Placenta Accreta if the pregnancy progresses into the second and third trimester. CSP is diagnosed in early pregnancy on an ultrasound scan.
