Even though arterial embolization was introduced as a treatment tool for postpartum hemorrhage, it is not performed frequently. As authors applied arterial embolization successfully to the patient who contracted retroperitoneal hematoma after delivery, we reported this case with a brief review of literature.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening condition and remains a leading cause of maternal mortality. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an effective therapeutic strategy for PPH with the advantages of fast speed, repeatability, and the possibility of fertility preservation. We reviewed the vascular anatomy relevant to PPH, the practical details of TAE emphasizing the timing of embolization, and various clinical conditions of PPH according to a recent literature review.

5.Maternal post-partum hemorrhage in Institute of Mother and Newborn Protection and care during 6 years
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2000;10():36-39
This is a descriptive research employed prospective cross-sectional survey technique; data were collected from hospital record from 1996-2001. Severe postpartum hemorrhage among women had delivery in the institute within 6 years was 0.54% and was continuously reduced from 0.90% in 1996 and maternal mortality among postpartum hemorrhage cases reduced from 1.5% in 1996 to 0.0% in 2001. Blood transfusion was conducted for 80.1%. Vaginal operations and drug therapy were applied for majority of vulvar-vaginal-cervix and none-constructed uterine.

6.The B.Lynch suture to control massive postpartum hemorrhage
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2003;0(5):37-39
The B.Lynch suture to control massive postpartum hemorrhage : Authours present a case of massive postpartum hemorrhages by uterine of a 27 year-old gravida1 woman with stillbirth and severe hemorrhagic shock. All medical emergency treatment and bilateral hypogastric ligation were performed unsuccessful. Hysterectomy was indicated. But there is no reason why to do hysteretomy for a young primipara woman whose child was died. With the B.Lynch compression suture was immediately carried out, we have saved her life and preserve and maintain further her reproductive function.

7.Rectally administered misoprostol in the prevention of pospartum hemorrhage due to uterine inertia

777 postpartum women were studied at Tu Du Obstetric and Gynecology Hospital, HCM city. Rectal misoprostol of 400mg was well tolerated and effective to reduce hemorrhage amount and to shorten the 3rd phase of labor just after the delivery. The procedure is simple with low cost, easy to use in remote areas of the country contributing in lowering obstetric accidents and mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of Carboprost versus methylergometrine maleate in the active management of third stage of labor for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage.
METHODS: Entries in electronic databases with references cited in original studies and review articles were used to identify randomized clinical trials of carboprost versus methergin in the active management of third stage of labor. The quality of published clinical trials were evaluated and assessed based on the efficacy of Carboprost versus methylergometrine maleate for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage.
RESULTS: Six (6) clinical trials were analyzed comprising a total sample pool of 525 women randomized to carboprost group and another 525 women to methergin. The risk ratio for dichotomous outcomes were calculated using a random-effects model while continuous outcomes were pooled using the standard mean difference. Results showed that both carboprost and methergin are both effective in preventing postpartum hemorrhage. But carboprost was found to be more efficacious in reducing the duration and decreasing the amount of blood loss in the third stage of labor and there was less need for an additional drug dose. Risks of side effects were higher in carboprost. Vomiting is the most frequent adverse event followed by diarrhea but are usually self-limiting.
CONCLUSION: Carboprost is well known for its therapeutic role in the management of postpartum hemorrhage, well-tolerated and with minimal adverse effects. It is therefore recommended to be used in hypertensive patients where methylergometrine maleate is contraindicated and in cases refractory to other uterotonic agents.

9.Choriocarcinoma presenting as late postpartum hemorrhage in a 21-year-old primipara

Philippine Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2024;48(1):72-76
Introduction:
Obstetrical hemorrhage remains to be one of the most common causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Postpartum hemorrhage occurs after delivery and is usually secondary to uterine atony, genital tract lacerations, and retained placental fragments.
Case:
A case of a 21-year old, primipara, presented with profuse vaginal bleeding and hemoptysis at 3 weeks' postpartum. A clinical diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia was established after an elevated serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin was obtained and an intrauterine mass was seen on ultrasonography, including metastasis to the lungs and liver seen through imaging studies.
Discussion
Chemotherapy with etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide and oncovin (EMACO) is the mainstay treatment for Stage IV disease. However, complications such as hemorrhage and tumor rupture are best managed surgically. Although rare, a diagnosis of choriocarcinoma should be considered in patients with persistent bleeding after a normal pregnancy to institute proper management and avoid associated complications of tumor progression.

Traditionally postpartum hemorrhage is a bleeding more than 500 ml that occurs immediately after the placenta is delivered. It remains one of the most common causes of maternal mortality. Morbid adhesion of the placenta is emerging as a major cause of massive postpartum hemorrhage unresponsive to medical therapy. We experienced three cases of major postpartum hemorrhage over 5,000 ml, developed from anterior placenta previa totalis with adhesion of placenta. The hemorrhage had been controlled successfully by compressing abdominal aorta intermittently with the operator's hand during Cesarean hysterectomy. In immediate life- threatening postpartum hemorrhage this simple and safe technique can be used in slowing the bleeding while stabilizing the patient and preparing for definitive treatment.
