Interventional diagnosis and treatment in emergent uterine artery bleeding after curettage / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the possibility of interventional diagnosis and treatment of uterine artery bleeding after curettage. Methods Select the emergent patients with uterine artery bleeding after curettage as the basis for study. Three women with uterine artery bleeding underwent femoral artery puncture and transcatheter uterine artery embolization. Bilateral selective artery angiographies were performed, and then underwent artery embolization after exhibiting the bleeding sites. Results Three patients were promptly and correctly diagnosed and arterial embolization were then attempted under DSA. No recurrence of bleeding during the angiographic and clinical follow up simultaneously with no serious complication. Conclusions Uterine arterial DSA and interventional embolization of uterine artery are effective in the diagnosing and treatting emergent uterine artery bleeding after curettage.
