title: Place of emergency arterial embolisation in obstetric haemorrhage about 16 personal cases.
abstract: Delivery bleedings which persist despite of an efficient medical treatment must be offered embolization without delay. Embolization is efficient in nearly 100% of cases; sometimes it has to be repeated. Embolization will it correct coagulopathy in few hours. It is a conservative treatment. It is nowadays undoubtedly the treatment of choice. Territorial organization for the hospital without interventional radiology is needed to organize the transfer of the bleeding patients without delay. Thus, mortality and morbidity as well as hysterectomy will not exist anymore.
