  • Title: Arterial embolization of vaginal arterial branches for severe postpartum hemorrhage despite hysterectomy.
    Author: Naydich M, Friedman A, Aaron G, Silberzweig J.
    Journal: J Vasc Interv Radiol; 2007 Aug; 18(8):1047-50. PubMed ID: 17675626.
    Abstract:
    Postpartum hemorrhage remains a substantial cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Arterial embolization has been described as a successful primary modality and an important adjunct in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Herein, the authors report a case of intractable postpartum hemorrhage refractory to hysterectomy. The bleeding was controlled with embolotherapy. The findings emphasize the role of angiographic embolization in postpartum hemorrhage.
