Figure 1 (a) Aortogram shows low placental implantation (asterisk) and vascularization originating from the uterine and vesicovaginal arteries (arrows). The angiogram shows the fetal head (open arrows) and “double-J” formed by catheters (arrowheads). This angiogram was obtained immediately before bilateral and simultaneous catheterization of both uterine arteries. (b) Postembolization angiogram after simultaneous contrast agent injection from both hypogastric arteries after delivery (arrows) shows double-J formed by catheters (arrowheads). Placenta was devascularized after uterine artery and anterior internal iliac trunk free-flow embolization (asterisk).
