Internal Iliac Artery Embolisation in Post LSCS Haemorrhage.

2006 
Obstetric hemorrhage is an important cause of maternal morbidity and death [1]. This condition has been traditionally managed by bilateral uterine artery ligation. Of late, life-threatening obstetric hemorrhage is increasingly dealt with using endovascular embolisation technique. Angiographic embolisation is a potentially ‘life and fertility’ saving procedure. It is a safe and effective method of controlling pregnancy related hemorrhagic complications unresponsive to conservative management and maintains reproductive potential [2]. We report our experience in a case of successful arterial embolization following intractable primary post partum hemorrhage complicated by coagulopathy.
