Abstract
Two cases of intractable postpartum hemorrhage could be controlled by Gelfoam embolization via an angiographic catheter. The data presented here indicate that transcatheter embolization for postpartum hemorrhage is a safe and effective method compared to surgical ligation of the injured artery.Keywords
