Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Although there is anecdotal evidence of balloon tamponade for posthysteroscopic acute uterine bleeding, a literature review disclosed no articles describing complications of the technique. In our patient, balloon tamponade for acute posthysteroscopic bleeding resulted in disseminated intravascular coagulation. In a second woman the procedure was successful.
