Objective:
To report a case of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm which initially failed unilateral uterine artery embolization that subsequently responded to bilateral embolization.
Design:
A case report.
Setting:
University hospital.
Patient(S):
32-year-old G(2) P(1) female.
Intervention(S):
Left uterine artery embolization followed by right uterine artery embolization 1 day later.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Vaginal bleeding, hemoglobin.
Results:
Unilateral uterine artery embolization failed to control vaginal bleeding. Repeat embolization of the contralateral side was successful.
Conclusions:
Uterine artery embolization is an effective method of treating delayed postpartum hemorrhage secondary to a pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery.
