Cost analysis of intrauterine balloon tamponade versus uterine artery embolization in the management of persistent postpartum hemorrhage
There is a negligible difference in cost between scenarios in which women with PPH are initially managed with intrauterine balloon tamponade versus uterine artery embolization. Given the comparable cost and maternal outcomes, intrauterine balloon tamponade is a favorable treatment, considering its less invasive nature, practical considerations, and lower risk of complications.
