| description | Objective: Uterine artery embolization has become an effective treatment for postpartum hemorrhage. The safety of pregnancy after uterine artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage has been established.
Case report: We present the case of a pregnant woman with asymptomatic uterine complete rupture who underwent uterine artery embolization for a previous placenta previa. She had not been diagnosed with uterine rupture until cesarean section was performed, and fortunately, we obtained the best maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Conclusion: Many studies have been reported that uterine artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage did not affect subsequent pregnancy outcomes. However, we report that this procedure contains a potential risk for asymptomatic uterine rupture in a subsequent pregnancy. Although it is difficult to diagnose uterine rupture without symptoms, the obstetrician should be aware of the possibility of uterine rupture. |
