title: Endovascular management of postpartum massive vaginal bleeding. A case presenting with a pseudoaneurysm following subtotal hysterectomy.
abstract: 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.
