Predictive factors for failure of pelvic arterial embolization for postpartum hemorrhage.
To assess the efficacy of pelvic embolization in women with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and to determine factors associated with embolization failure. ⋯ Predictive factors significantly associated with failed pelvic arterial embolization were the presence of placenta accreta, biologic factors, and transfusional factors. Delay due to inter-hospital transfer did not affect the outcome of embolization.
