Does emergency trans-arterial uterine artery embolization aid in the stabilization and recovery of a patient with ruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysm post-cesarean section?
Transarterial uterine artery embolization is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for ruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysm post-cesarean section that allows for fertility preservation.
May support embolization for post-cesarean pseudoaneurysm rupture; leaves open need for prospective data on safety and fertility.
We present a case report of 31 31-year-old woman with refractory secondary postpartum hemorrhage after 44 days of cesarian section. Patient was in shock and found to have a ruptured Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) in computed tomography angiography (CTA). Emergency trans-arterial Uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed, aiding in the stabilization and recovery of the patient. The benefits of early recovery, minimal invasiveness, and the option of preserving fertility are offered by UAE compared to uterine artery ligation or hysterectomy.

Pandey et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Refractory secondary postpartum hemorrhage due to ruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Emergency trans-arterial Uterine artery embolization (UAE) was evaluated on Stabilization and recovery. Emergency trans-arterial uterine artery embolization successfully stabilized and aided the recovery of a 31-year-old woman with a ruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysm post-cesarean section.
