Lead Sponsor:

Obstetrix Medical Group

Conditions:

Fetal Membranes, Premature Rupture

Eligibility:

FEMALE

18-60 years

Phase:

PHASE4

Brief Summary

Detailed Description

The placement of cervical cerclage is standard of care for women who experience incompetent cervix. Treadwell et al, published the largest retrospective review of 482 patients receiving cerclage (364 ...
