ABSTRACT
We report on a case of a 23 year old primigravida with intractable atonic life threatening post partum hemorrhage [PPH] following a normal vaginal delivery. The PPH was resistant to conventional medical procedures to arrest the bleeding. She was successfully treated non-surgically with Uterine Artery Embolization [UAE]. UAE is not only a life saving procedure, but may theoretically allow conservation of future fertility
