AbstractDelayed postpartum hemorrhage, defined as bleeding following delivery up to 6 weeks postpartum, is a risk following cesarean or vaginal delivery. Episodes most commonly occur between 8 and 14 days postpartum. Here, we present a case of a 24-year-old woman presenting with delayed postpartum hemorrhage 14 days after delivery, which later proved to be caused by left uterine artery hemorrhage. The hemorrhage was refractory to local treatment and required invasive measures to prevent hypotensive shock. In lieu of a hysterectomy, a unilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed to preserve fertility in this 24-year-old patient. Three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasonography was performed 3 weeks after UAE to assess the volume and vascularity of the pelvic structures. This case illustrates a viable intervention for women with postpartum hemorrhage who desire to preserve future fertility, as well as a method to detect structural and vascular changes after the treatment to evaluate their future fertility prospects.
