  • Title: [Percutaneous catheter embolization in life threatening obstetrical hemorrhage--a case report].
    Author: Glanz H.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1996 Sep; 56(9):504-7. PubMed ID: 8991851.
    Abstract:
    A case of life-threatening postpartum haemorrhage after Caesarean section is reported. The bleeding could finally be stopped by transcatheter embolisation of the internal iliac arteries. Our case and literature concerning management of obstetric haemorrhage by transcatheter embolisation reveals this method to be highly effective, but only slightly invasive and rarely associated with (usually minor) complications. The method is considered to be superior to arterial ligation.
