“…12 The success rate of transcatheter arterial embolization varies between 85% -100%. 1,6,7,10,13 Complication rates related with arterial embolization are low, ranging between 6% -9%, including post-embolization syndrome (transient fever, pelvic pain and nausea), intra-abdominal hematoma, uterine necrosis, artery dissection, lower limb ischemia, endometritis, amenorrhea and sepsis. 11,[13][14][15] We consider this case a success, as selective arterial embolization allowed hemorrhage control in an unstable patient with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, thus minimizing the bleeding risks associated with major anesthetics and surgical procedures.…”
