Amenorrhea due to partial uterine necrosis after uterine artery embolization for control of refractory postpartum hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a woman in whom selective embolization of both uterine arteries was performed using gelatin sponge for control of refractory postpartum hemorrhage. Ten months after delivery, the women had not resumed noticeable menstruation. Examination and investigation were consistent with partial uterine necrosis and complete obliteration of the cavity.
