- Title

- Authors
Yalamanchili, Srigouri; Harvey, Sara M.; Friedman, Adie; Shams, Joseph N.; Silberzweig, James E.
- Abstract
The inferior epigastric artery represents a potentially overlooked source of pelvic arterial hemorrhage. The authors describe 3 patients with massive inferior epigastric artery bleeding following cesarean section, paracentesis, and blunt trauma that were successfully treated with transarterial embolization. The inferior epigastric artery should be considered as a possible source of arterial hemorrhage if arteriography of internal iliac artery branches does not yield a bleeding source.
