Abstract
The latest triennial report on maternal deaths has recommended the consideration of uterine artery embolisation in management of cases of massive obstetric haemorrhage. We have been using interventional radiology to manage both expected and unanticipated postpartum bleeding in our centre. Three case reports are presented to highlight the value of this technique and issues relating to the anaesthetic and postoperative management of these patients are discussed.
