Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication of cesarean section. If inadequately treated, it can lead to life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage. Herein, we report the case of a 28-year-old woman who developed secondary postpartum hemorrhage resulting from uterine artery pseudoaneurysm and cesarean scar dehiscence after cesarean section. Angiographic embolization is a safe and effective procedure for treating postpartum hemorrhage resulting from pseudoaneurysm in hemodynamically stable patients. However, uterine artery ligation may be the surgical procedure of choice for hemodynamically unstable patients when fertility preservation is desired.

We present the case of a 26-year-old female who experienced secondary postpartum hemorrhage nine days after an uncomplicated elective repeat low transverse cesarean section. She was found to have a uterine pseudoaneurysm and underwent gel foam embolization of the right uterine artery. Subsequently, patient was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism on post-embolization day 3, and was initiated on anti-coagulation regimen.

Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare cause of secondary postpartum hemorrhage. Herein, we report a case of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm, with postpartum hemorrhage commencing 22 days after uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Intermittent bleeding occurred during conservative observation. Transvaginal ultrasound color Doppler imaging revealed swollen vascular structures that suggested arteriovenous malformations, and a saccular dilatation of blood vessels. However, it was insufficient to definitively diagnose the condition as pseudoaneurysm. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional computed tomography angiogram was effective in demonstrating a pseudoaneurysm in the uterus, and an absent early venous return sign, leading to the final diagnosis of a pseudoaneurysm. The patient was successfully treated with transarterial embolization using gelatin sponge pledgets. No bleeding or recurrence of the pseudoaneurysm was observed 2 months after embolization.

Introduction: Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon cause of secondary postpartum hemorrhage that can be fatal. Material & Methods: We present a case of a 42-year-old woman who developed massive secondary postpartum hemorrhage 17 days after c-section and was diagnosed to have pseudoaneurysm from the left uterine artery on computed tomography scan. After blood transfusion she got hemodynamically stable and selective transcatheter arterial embolization was performed. Results: The pseudoaneurysm was successfully obliterated. Conclusions: Angiographic embolization is a safe and competent method for managing postpartum hemorrhage caused by pseudoaneurysm in hemodynamically stable patients. However, uterine artery ligation may be the preferred method for hemodynamically unstable patients when fertility preservation is strongly desired. In a woman with unexplained vaginal bleeding after c-section , pseudoaneurysm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of secondary postpartum hemorrhage. Angiographic embolization should be examined as a treatment method before turning to surgery, in suitable selected cases.
