Consensus-based Recommendation 8.E26
Every obstetric department should ascertain whether arterial catheter embolisation can be performed in their facility and the time it takes for this method to be available and then create the organisational structure which will determine at what point the patient should be transferred to the interventional radiology department. The precondition for transfer is that the patient is haemodynamically stable and does not have massive bleeding.
