Abstract: | PurposeTo evaluate efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in managing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to genital tract injury after vaginal delivery and to investigate factors associated with outcome of TAE.Materials and MethodsA retrospective review of 43 women (mean age, 32.6 years) who underwent TAE to manage PPH secondary to genital tract injury after vaginal delivery was performed at a single institution between January 2007 and December 2018. Clinical data and outcomes were obtained. Patients were classified into clinical success (n = 39) and failure (n = 4) groups, and comparisons between the groups were performed.ResultsThe clinical success rate of TAE for PPH due to genital tract injury was 90.7%. In the clinical failure group, transfusion volumes were higher (failure vs success: packed red blood cells, 14 pt ± 3.37 vs 6.26 pt ± 4.52, P = .003; platelets, 10.33 pt ± 4.04 vs 2.92 pt ± 6.15, P = .036); hemoglobin levels before the procedure were lower (failure vs success: 7.3 g/dL vs 10.7, P = .016). Periprocedural complications included pulmonary edema (25.6%), fever (23.3%), and pain (9.3%). Twenty-four patients were either followed for > 6 months or answered a telephone survey; 23 (95.8%) recovered regular menstruation, and pregnancy was confirmed in 11 (45.8%). Regarding fertility desires, 7 women attempted to conceive, 6 of whom (85.7%) became pregnant.ConclusionsTAE is an effective and safe method for managing PPH due to genital tract injury after vaginal delivery. Lower hemoglobin levels before the procedure and higher transfusion volumes were associated with clinical failure of TAE. |
