Jj. Merland et al., PLACE OF EMERGENCY ARTERIAL EMBOLIZATION IN OBSTETRIC HEMORRHAGE ABOUT 16 PERSONAL CASES, European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, 65(1), 1996, pp. 141-143
Delivery bleedings which persist despite of an efficient medical treat
ment must be offered embolization without delay. Embolization is effic
ient in nearly 100% of cases; sometimes it has to be repeated. Emboliz
ation will it correct coagulopathy in few hours. It is a conservative
treatment. It is nowadays undoubtedly the treatment of choice. Territo
rial organization for the hospital without interventional radiology is
needed to organize the transfer of the bleeding patients without dela
y. Thus, mortality and morbidity as well as hysterectomy will not exis
t anymore.
