Abstract

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a common procedure for controlling gynecological and obstetric bleeding. We report a case of a 38-year-old female with placenta increta who underwent UAE following a cesarean section and subsequently developed pulmonary embolism from nontarget embolization. Excellent CTPA images demonstrate embolization agents used in the procedure in the pulmonary vasculature. The patient developed acute cor pulmonale, an infrequent complication from the procedure. This case presents a rare and clear demonstration of a complication of uterine artery embolization with clear imaging evidence.
