Abstract
A case of intractable postpartum haemorrhage successfully managed by angiographic embolization is presented. The literature concerning angiographic embolization and internal iliac artery ligation is reviewed. Angiographic embolization is a superior method to internal iliac artery ligation in appropriately selected cases of obstetric haemorrhage, and may also be used successfully in cases where internal iliac ligation and/or hysterectomy has failed to control pelvic haemorrhage. Angiographic embolization is a potentially life- and fertility-saving procedure.
