Abstract

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE) in patients with postpartum hemorrhage.Methods 16 consecutive patients (3 with vaginal and 13 with cesarean delivery)with severe postpartum hemorrhage(PPH) underwent digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and TAE.Results Embolization was performed by transfemoral arterial catheterization.Pieces of absorbable gelatin sponge were used in all cases.Optimal bleeding control was achieved in all cases,and no severe complications were observed.Conclusion TAE in patients with PPH is a safe and effective method.
