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.
子宫动脉假性动脉瘤是剖宫产术后一种罕见但严重的并发症。若治疗不当,可导致危及生命的产后出血。在此,我们报告一例28岁女性患者,其在剖宫产术后因子宫动脉假性动脉瘤和剖宫产瘢痕裂开而发生继发性产后出血。对于血流动力学稳定的患者,血管造影栓塞术是治疗假性动脉瘤所致产后出血的一种安全有效的方法。然而,当希望保留生育功能时,子宫动脉结扎术可能是血流动力学不稳定患者的首选手术方法。
