[Transcatheter arterial embolization for postpartum hemorrhage].
A case of postpartum hemorrhage controlled by transcatheter arterial embolization is reported. The determination of the exact location of the bleeding vessel in postpartum hemorrhage may be difficult using angiography. Selective embolization is effective but the selection of the artery to embolize (internal iliac versus uterine artery) is still controversial.
