Interventional Radiology for Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Life-Saving, Minimally Invasive Treatment

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a serious condition where excessive bleeding occurs after childbirth. When medications and conventional treatments fail, interventional radiology offers a highly effective, minimally invasive solution to control bleeding and preserve the uterus.

Indications for Interventional Radiology in PPH

Severe bleeding after vaginal delivery or C-section
Failure of medications or uterine massage to stop bleeding
Placental abnormalities (e.g., placenta accreta, previa, or retained placenta)
Uterine artery rupture or trauma-related bleeding
Women wanting to avoid emergency hysterectomy

Procedure Details: Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)

  1. Preparation: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
  2. Guided Catheterization: A small catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin or wrist.
  3. Embolization: Using real-time X-ray (fluoroscopy), tiny particles are injected into the bleeding uterine arteries, blocking blood flow and stopping hemorrhage.
  4. Completion: The catheter is removed, and a small bandage is applied. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, and patients are closely monitored afterward.

Benefits of Uterine Artery Embolization for PPH

Life-Saving & Highly Effective: Rapid control of bleeding in emergency situations
Minimally Invasive: No need for open surgery or large incisions
Preserves the Uterus & Fertility: Avoids hysterectomy in most cases
Quick Recovery: Shorter hospital stay and faster return to normal activities
Safe & Well-Tolerated: Low risk of complications compared to major surgery
