Therapeutic embolisation for postoperative haemorrhage after total arthroplasty of the hip and knee

We describe three cases of postoperative haemorrhage, two after total hip and one after total knee replacement, treated by percutaneous embolisation. After diagnostic angiography, this is the preferred method for the treatment of postoperative haemorrhage due to the formation of a false aneurysm, af...

Zusammenfassung:	We describe three cases of postoperative haemorrhage, two after total hip and one after total knee replacement, treated by percutaneous embolisation.

This procedure, carried out under local anaesthesia, has a low rate of complications and avoids the uncertainty of further surgical exploration.
