Case Report (n=1)
Uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective conservative method for managing postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine arteriovenous malformation, avoiding hysterectomy.
May support embolization as a conservative option in rare cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Its prompt recognition and management is life-saving. Hysterectomy can be avoided by using the conservative methods. Uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective procedure and can be life-saving. We have discussed a similar case which was managed successfully with uterine artery embolization. J Clin Gynecol Obstet. 2015;4(4):316-319 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/jcgo366w
