  Abstract

We report a case of postpartum haemorrhage which was successfully treated by embolization of the uterine artery. This technique is not well known and is thought to be underused in this condition. We wish to alert medical personnel to its role in this life-threatening situation.

Keywords: arteries, hypogastric ligation; arteries, uterine, embolization; complications, postpartum haemorrhage.
