Iatrogenic injury to the internal iliac vein:
A life threatening complication of
internal iliac artery ligationOkonkwo CA1, Ande ABA2, Ovbagbedia O3, Anyanhun G4
ABSTRACT
Bilateral internal iliac artery ligation is an invaluable tool in the management of obstetric haemorrhage. However complications could occur and if not properly managed it could result in morbidity or even mortality. We report a case of iatrogenic injury to the left internal iliac vein during internal iliac artery ligation for severe post partum haemorrhage following Abruptio Placentae, which was successfully managed and the patient did well post operatively.
KEY WORDS: Post partum haemorrhage, Internal iliac artery ligation, Internal iliac vein injury.
