We present a case report of 31 31-year-old woman with refractory secondary postpartum hemorrhage after 44 days of cesarian section. Patient was in shock and found to have a ruptured Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) in computed tomography angiography (CTA). Emergency trans-arterial Uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed, aiding in the stabilization and recovery of the patient. The benefits of early recovery, minimal invasiveness, and the option of preserving fertility are offered by UAE compared to uterine artery ligation or hysterectomy.
