A successful embolization for life-threatening uterine hemorrhage is described in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. On admission the patient was in the 6th week of gestation with incomplete abortion and uterine hemorrhage. In addition to combination chemotherapy and anticoagulant therapy, dilatation and curettage were also performed. After the operation the uterine hemorrhage was progressively increased in amount and was not responsive to usual measures. Embolization of bilateral uterine arteries using Gelfoam was performed with a dramatic improvement of the hemorrhage.
