Abstract

This is a case report of a 44-year-old premenopausal woman who was admitted to hospital due to uncontrollable and life-threatening vaginal bleeding after starting rivaroxaban treatment for atrial fibrillation. She had a medical history with menorrhagia due to an intrauterine fibroma. She did not respond sufficiently to factor X supplement or other non-surgical medical interventions. The bleeding subsided after bilateral embolization of aa. uterinae.
