title: Double vertical compression sutures: A novel conservative approach to managing post-partum haemorrhage due to placenta praevia and atonic bleeding.
abstract: Compression has been regarded as the main haemostatic mechanism of compression sutures; however, we suggest that reduced uterine blood flow may be another important action. We suggest that our 'double vertical compression sutures' may have dual actions: haemostatic compression of the bleeding surface and reduced uterine blood flow.
