Abstract:
Postpartum embolization to decrease the maternal mortality rate and postpartum hysterectomies. An interventional radiologist performs the embolization at the obstetrician's request, when conventional means have failed to stop the bleeding. This will efficiently stop the bleeding. Fertility appears to remain normal after embolization. Embolization of uterine arteries is also utilized for the treatment of symptomatic myomas in patients, who do not wish to become pregnant. After the embolization the myomas will gradually shrink within months. The procedure has been found to be safe.
