The case history of a patient aged 41 years, who suffered recurrent hemorrhages following vaginal hysterectomy is reported. After several surgical interventions complete hemostasis was finally achieved by selective embolization of the internal iliacal artery. The application of this procedure is recommended in case of recurrent bleeding complications caused by pelvic surgery or neoplasms.
