Embolic management of rare hemorrhagic gynecologic and obstetrical conditions.

Severe life-threatening hemorrhage was controlled by angiographic management in 3 patients with bleeding due to unusual gynecological abnormalities and in 1 patient with a rare obstetrically related hemorrhage. Successful management of such rare causes of bleeding emphasizes that early angiographic intervention can, in selected patients, reduce the need for an immediate or subsequent surgical procedure and allow conservative management followed by disease-specific therapy.
