Endovascular management of postpartum massive vaginal bleeding. A case presenting with a pseudoaneurysm following subtotal hysterectomy.
In the management of massive vaginal bleeding resulting from obstetrics and gynecological diseases, the percutaneous endovascular embolization procedures have been widely used in recent years. We report a case of massive vaginal hemorrhage due to arterial pseudoaneurysm formation following postpartum subtotal hysterectomy which was successfully treated via the percutaneous endovascular embolization.
