| Popis: | Hysterectomy is the most common gynecologic procedure performed all over the world and various complications may appear depending on the surgical route. Delayed postoperative hemorrhage is a rare, life threatening complication. It requires timely management and recently the surgical reinterventions tend to be replaced by minimally invasive techniques. Transcatheter arterial embolization shows good results as a treatment strategy for massive vaginal bleeding post hysterectomy, when vaginal vault suturing fails to achieve hemostasis. We report a case of right uterine artery bleeding occurring 30 days after vaginal hysterectomy that was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization. |
