The case of a 24-year-old patient with severe post-partum hemorrhage resistant to medical therapy is reported. Active bleeding was documented on CT and confirmed by angiography. Selective embolization of the cervico-uterine artery promptly stopped the bleeding. Selective embolization is recommended as the treatment of choice for intractable post-partum hemorrhage.
