title: [Percutaneous catheter embolization of the of the internal iliac artery in life-threatening gynecological bleeding].
abstract: 16 patients with life-endangering hemorrhages caused by gynecologic malignancies have been treated with the percutaneous transcatheter embolisation. In general for embolisation of the internal iliac artery gelfoam was used. Life-endangering bleeding could be stopped in all cases, only 3 mild persistent bleedings and another recurrence of hemorrhage could be controlled conservatively. Major-complications did not occur. The significant advantage of catheter embolisation in controversy to surgical treatment is discussed.
