Ectopic Pregnancy Diagnosis and Management

Pregnancy occurring after pelvic arterial embolization for postpartum hemorrhage is rare. The harmlessness of this procedure for subsequent pregnancies is poorly documented.Eight pregnant women with a history of arterial embolization were followed up with fetal growth and Doppler assessment.Fetal growth and umbilical Doppler findings remained normal in all cases.Embolization, a life-saving and fertility-preserving procedure, does not seem to affect subsequent pregnancies.
