Uterine Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Total Abdominal Hysterectomy Managed by Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Glue Injection

Abstract

Abstract Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) following abdominal hysterectomy is an uncommon complication. However, it can cause life-threatening bleeding, necessitating early diagnosis and intervention. Imaging is vital in its prompt diagnosis and aids in planning interventions. Here, we describe a case of recurrent massive per-vaginal bleeding from a left UAP developed following total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Bleeding was successfully managed with percutaneous ultrasound-guided glue (N-butyl cyanoacrylate) injection into the aneurysmal sac. The patient is doing well without any recurrent bleeding.
