Sumario:A 29-year-old woman with partial placenta increta was treated by bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE) for bleeding with hemorrhagic shock two months after delivery, resulting in permanent hemostasis. The patient underwent a total of three magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations—before UAE and four days and four months after UAE. At four months, MRI showed a fully regenerated uterus with preserved perfusion and complete resolution of residual placental tissue.
