Abstract |
Even though arterial embolization was introduced as a treatment tool for postpartum hemorrhage, it is not performed frequently. As authors applied arterial embolization successfully to the patient who contracted retroperitoneal hematoma after delivery, we reported this case with a brief review of literature. |
Key Words:
Postpartum hemorrhage, Retroperitoneal hematoma, Arterial embolization |
