AI Article Synopsis

  • * Analyzed data from 62 cases between 2008 and 2017, finding that 60.9% of patients wanting to conceive achieved pregnancy, but patients in infertility treatment faced more complications.
  • * Results showed significant uterine infection rates in those with massive hemorrhage, but angiographic endpoints didn't change based on hemorrhage severity, indicating no need for changes in treatment protocols.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of UAE for postpartum and postabortion hemorrhage on future infertility, especially in patients undergoing infertility treatment, along with angiographic endpoints.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-two sessions performed emergent or prophylactic UAE for postpartum or postabortion hemorrhage between 2008 and 2017 were selected. Subsequent pregnancy outcomes and complications were investigated as primary outcomes. The cases were divided into two groups based on the presence of massive hemorrhage. The relationships between angiographic endpoints and complications were also evaluated as secondary outcomes.

Results: The mean patient age was 34.1 ± 6.5 years. Fourteen of the 23 patients (60.9%) with desired fertility achieved pregnancy and 10 patients achieved live births (43.5%). In the patients during infertility treatment, three of the four patients had complications of severe adhesion after caesarean section or placenta accreta. In the group of patients with massive hemorrhage, the occurrence of uterine infection was significantly high (p = 0.014), but the angiographic endpoints were not significant, regardless of the occurrence of uterine infection.

Conclusion: It was unnecessary to modify embolic endpoint according to seriousness of the hemorrhage. The pregnancy and live birth rates were acceptable, although patients undergoing infertility treatment had a higher rate of delivery complications.

Cesarean sections (c-sections) are the most commonly performed surgery in the United States, and the country is currently facing a maternal health crisis. Surprisingly, women do not receive rehabilitation services to support the acute stages of c-section recovery. When someone undergoes a knee or hip replacement, it is standard practice for the physician to order home health services, including occupational therapy, for a client before they are discharged from the hospital.
