Arterial embolization and prophylactic catheterization for the treatment for severe obstetric hemorrhage*.
To evaluate indications, efficacy, and complications associated with arterial embolization and prophylactic balloon catheterization in the management of obstetric hemorrhage at a university hospital. ⋯ Arterial embolization is of significant value in treating obstetric hemorrhage.
