We read the comments from Nuala Lucas and colleagues on our Clinical Picture1 with interest. The major risk factor for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is myometrial scarring, the prevalence of which is increasing with the consistent rise in caesarean section births globally. As such, we welcome additional discourse on the subject. We showed images from the multidisciplinary team care of a patient in our unit, and cases like this will be familiar to those working within tertiary centres.
