Retained products of conception causing secondary PPH

Retained products of conception causing secondary PPH
(A) Transvaginal color Doppler shows an echogenic area with blood flow, consistent with retained products of conception. Spectral Doppler shows very high velocity (over 120 cm/second).
(B) Angiogram shows early filling vein (arrow). The patient was treated with embolization prior to curettage because of the significant blood flow to the retained products.
PPH: postpartum hemorrhage.
