Prediction of Positive Angiogram Using Enhanced Computed Tomography in Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Multicentered Study
Enhanced CT showed high sensitivity and had a negative predictive value for predicting AAH+ on angiogram and embolization; this may be useful in ruling out the necessity for angiography. Active arterial hemorrhage on CT may predict embolization and identify the precise bleeding site.
