Carbon dioxide angiography and arterial embolization could successfully control postpartum uterine hemorrhage for the patient with hypersensitivity to iodine compound
Abstract:Transcatheter arterial embolization has become a common management option for intractable postpartum uterine hemorrhage. Iodinated contrast agents are commonly used for embolotherapy but cannot be used in patients with renal dysfunction or iodine allergy. A 37-year-old woman spontaneously delivered a healthy girl but developed severe postpartum uterine hemorrhage, probably due to placenta accrete. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed extravasation of the iodinated contrast agent into the uterine cavi… Show more
