Abstract
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening condition and remains a leading cause of maternal mortality. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an effective therapeutic strategy for PPH with the advantages of fast speed, repeatability, and the possibility of fertility preservation. We reviewed the vascular anatomy relevant to PPH, the practical details of TAE emphasizing the timing of embolization, and various clinical conditions of PPH according to a recent literature review.
