“…Nor do we know the long-term rate of complications for the women who required balloon tamponade. In terms of obstetrical and gynecological outcome, pregnancy is possible after Bakri balloon tamponade (26).…”
Although the efficacy of tamponade should be viewed in the light of its widespread use, our findings confirm that tamponade significantly reduces the need for interventional radiology or surgery for postpartum hemorrhage treatment.

“…Indeed we published a study concerning the management of 61 cases of severe PPH by the Bakri Balloon [4]. We showed that the Bakri balloon stopped severe PPH in more than 90 % of cases after a vaginal delivery or a caesarean section.…”
“…In our study, the lethality was 2.4%; it was lower than the 2013 SONU survey's result which was 4.1% for the lethality due to postpartum hemorrhage [9]. In several studies about the intra-uterine tamponade balloon, the lethality was zero; but it was a study with a small number of patients that did not allow the real assessment of lethality when intrauterine tamponade was introduced as a second line treatment in case of IPPH by uterine atony [10][11][12][13]. These lethality and morbidity rates in our serie reflect the efficacy and safety of the intra-uterine balloon when used by trained practicians.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
