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)
- Preparation: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
- Guided Catheterization: A small catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin or wrist.
- Embolization: Using real-time X-ray (fluoroscopy), tiny particles are injected into the bleeding uterine arteries, blocking blood flow and stopping hemorrhage.
- 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
