Description
Hino and colleagues present a 2026 case report of dangerous bleeding after a cesarean delivery. A 27-year-old woman who had a prior cesarean faced two vessel problems at once. She had a torn inferior epigastric artery in the abdominal wall and a pseudoaneurysm, a contained leak, on a bladder artery. Open surgery failed to stop the bleeding and she needed massive transfusion.
Catheter embolization, blocking vessels from inside, closed the wall artery. The bladder artery's leak resisted that route because of winding vessels and side channels. The team then punctured it directly through the vagina under ultrasound guidance and injected a glue mixture, which sealed the leak. She recovered without further bleeding. The case adds a rescue route when standard embolization cannot reach, and reminds teams that post-cesarean bleeding can hide two sources at once.
