title: [Embolization of the circumflex femoral artery for recurrent hemorrhage after total hip arthroplasty. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Reoperation of an haemorrhagic complication after total hip arthroplasty may be not efficacious when, as in the case report, bleeding's origin is not found. The vital prognosis can be quickly set in action and then the arterial embolization be the swift and efficacious solution. The selective arteriography that precedes it allows to locate the bleeding's origin, to estimate gravity of leak and to set indication of embolization. So it is fitting to think of this therapeutic solution that may avoid new operation and new failure.
