title: [Arterial embolization in chronic hemorrhage from uterine neoplasms].
abstract: Transcatheter embolization of the internal iliac arteries because of chronic bleeding from unresectable carcinoma of the uterus was performed in 8 patients aged 36-67. Hemorrhage was brought under control in all cases by application of a spectrum of procedures: bilateral combined, distal and proximal occlusion using autoblood clots, Gelfoam, Ivalon and steel coils although there was one recurrence 5 months after treatment, no bleeding occurred during an 11 month-4 year follow-up. Trancatheter embolization proved effective in the management of chronic bleeding from unresectable carcinoma of the uterus.
