摘要
Obstetric hemorrhage continues to be a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Recent developments in percutaneous angiographic embolization techniques have afforded the ability to control persistent bleeding from pelvic vessels while avoiding the morbidity of surgical exploration. We report the use of angiographic embolization in 10 cases of pregnancy-related hemorrhage, including persistent postcesarean bleeding (three cases), vaginal wall hematomas (four cases), cervical ectopic pregnancies (two cases), and postpartum bleeding as a secondary complication of uterine myomas (one case). The embolization procedures were successful in all cases. Nine of 10 patients experienced postprocedural fever with eight cases resolving with antibiotic therapy alone and one patient requiring vaginal drainage of the hematoma-abscess. The mean length of time for the procedure was 167 minutes (range 70 to 270). The average length of hospitalization was 8 days (range 2 to 13). These data indicate that angiographic embolization is effective in treating hemorrhagic complications of pregnancy in hemodynamically stable patients and is preferable to surgery in selected cases.
