B‐Lynch suture after the failure of hypogastric artery ligation to control post‐partum hemorrhage due to placenta increta in a patient with the factor V Leiden mutation

Post‐partum hemorrhage may be a life‐threatening condition. A case of a patient receiving antithrombotic therapy for the factor V Leiden mutation, in whom post‐partum hemorrhage had occurred due to placenta increta, is described. In this case, the post‐partum hemorrhage did not respond to bilateral hypogastric artery ligation, while the B‐Lynch surgical technique was successful in obtaining hemostasis.
