ABSTRACT
We report here the case of a young woman who presented with pain, fever and apparent cutaneous sub ischaemia following embolisation of the uterine arteries for postpartum haemorrhagia. This embolisation was carried out by bilateral selective catheterism of the uterine arteries using 45 to 150 micron polyvinyl alcohol particles. Investigative laparotomy was decided in view of the persistence of the symptoms, and the patient underwent hysterectomy with ablation of the right adnexa to treat uterine necrosis and adnexal atrophy. Because of the information that we have actually, we can explain that this complication is linked with the use of polyvinyl alcohol small size particles. The migration of those embolisation agents might be responsible for obliteration of a large number of distal vessels. Those embolisation agents must, because of recommendation for good practice published in 2004, be reserved to exceptional cases to minimize the complication of embolisation.
