Pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery is a rare condition which usually occurs after a traumatic birth, Cesarean-Section, D&C (dilatation and curettage) and hysterectomy. This case is a 28-year-old female patient that presented with the chief complaint of severe urinary tract bleeding and hypovolemic shock. This patient underwent Cesarean-Section two months prior to the first presentation. After the primary examination, the patient was sent to the hybrid operation room with the primary diagnosis of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm and coil embolization was done for treating the pseudoaneurysm. Considering continued bleeding, open surgery was performed and the internal iliac artery was ligated.
