Abstract

The role of transcatheter arterial embolization in the management of obstetric emergencies is relatively new and not so commonly used. In the following series, the efficacy of this technique in situations such as scar site ectopic pregnancy, antepartum and postpartum obstetric hemorrhage, especially in the presence of coagulation derangement is presented.

Keywords: Antepartum hemorrhage; Post partum hemorrhage; Scar site ectopic pregnancy; Transcatheter arterial embolization; Uterine artery embolization.
