“…Other causes of primary PPH include cesarean section, invasive placentation, congenital or acquired coagulation disorders, uterine rupture or inversion, bladder flap hematoma, retention of blood clots or placental fragments, and fibroids [13,24,31,36]. The main causes of secondary PPH are retained placenta, abnormal placentation, uterine subinvolution, coagulopathies, and ruptured pseudoaneurysm [21,22,34,37].…”

“…Uterine atony accounts for the majority of causes of PPH and is the most common indication for TAE [20]. However, as experience accumulates, other indications for TAE are now well-recognized, including uterine artery pseudoaneurysms [21,22], invasive placentation [23][24][25][26][27], genital tears [28,29], and other rarer causes [30][31][32].…”

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially life-threatening condition, which needs multidisciplinary management. Uterine atony represents up to 80 % of all causes of PPH. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has now a well-established role in the management of severe PPH. TAE allows stopping the bleeding in 90 % of women with severe PHH, obviating surgery. Pledgets of gelatin sponge as torpedoes are commonly used for safe TAE, and coils, glue, and microspheres have been primarily used in specific situations such as arterial rupture, pseudoaneurysm, and arteriovenous fistula. TAE is a minimally invasive procedure with a low rate of complications, which preserves future fertility. Knowledge of causes of PPH, potential risks, and limitations of TAE is essential for a timely decision, optimizing TAE, preventing irreversible complications, avoiding hysterectomy, and ultimately preserving fertility.
