We read with great interest the systematic review by Poujade and colleagues [
[1]
] made to identify predictive factors for uterine necrosis after pelvic arterial embolization
for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The factors they identified among the 19 cases reported
in the literature were the nature and size of embolic agents, the absence of visible
anastomoses between the uterine and ovarian arteries on the first angiography and
the use of free-flow embolization.- Poujade O.
