Résumé
Embolization of the uterine arteries with resorbable material is an effective treatment for postpartum hemorrhage. Cases of uterine necrosis were already described but with non-resorbables particles. We report two exceptional cases of uterine necrosis with failure of conservative treatment following selective embolization with gelatine.
