Implication

Supports 3D angiosonography for postpartum pseudoaneurysm diagnosis before embolization; hypothesis-generating from case reports only.

Structured PICO

P
Population
2 cases of post-partum uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (1 after normal vaginal delivery, 1 after Caesarean section) complicated by heavy bleeding.
I
Intervention
Sonographic diagnosis (including three-dimensional angiosonography) and catheter embolization.

Three-dimensional angiosonography is useful for diagnosing postpartum uterine artery pseudoaneurysms and identifying the feeding vessel prior to catheter embolization.
