Abstract
The authors' experience in the management of postoperative vaginal hemorrhage from 1975 to 1980 was reviewed. Recently, success has been achieved using angiographic arterial embolization with the Gianturco minicoil. The results of embolization are compared with those achieved through other more conventional methods. The authors have found angiographic embolization to be safe, simple, and effective, and they recommend that the procedure be performed before laparotomy for intractable postoperative vaginal bleeding.
