Y. Chitrit et al., Absence of flow velocity waveform changes in uterine arteries after bilateral internal iliac artery ligation, AM J OBST G, 182(3), 2000, pp. 727-728
A case is reported of bilateral internal iliac artery ligation during cesar
ean delivery for intractable hemorrhage. Uterine artery Doppler flow veloci
ty waveforms were documented before and after the procedure. After the liga
tion the uterine arteries could still be visualized in the appropriate anat
omic location, and no changes in Doppler flow velocity waveforms were docum
ented.
