Induced abortion is the main method for termination of pregnancy. If induced abortion is not well-managed in these patients, it may result in serious vaginal bleeding and uterine rupture. We report a case of uterine artery rupture after induced abortion combined with extraction of an IUD. This case highlights the necessity of a standard operation for complicated induced abortion, and the value of interventional therapy, such as uterine artery embolization （UAE）, for controlling serious vaginal bleedit3g.展开更多
