Buttock necrosis after hypogastric artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage
Abstract: Background: Uterine or hypogastric artery embolization is a useful alternative to hysterectomy in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Case: Puerpera requiring a bilateral hypogastric artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section in a term twin pregnancy. Unexpected unilateral buttock necrosis appeared 5 days later. Treatment consisted of debridement, the use of vacuum-assisted closure therapy and skin grafting. Conclusion: Buttock necrosis is a rare complication after hypogastric artery embolization in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.
