Pelvic vessel embolization has been used as an urgent maneuver for achieving fast hemostatic control. This report describes outcomes of selective pelvic vessel embolization in patients with severe bleeding due to a locally advanced cervical cancer. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p> In this retrospective study, technical aspects, clinical variables, and bleeding-related morbidity were described. The frequency of recurrent disease and the vital status at 1 year of follow-up were determined. Analysis was performed with statistical software R, version 3.6.2. The setting was Instituto Nacional de Cancerolog\u00eda- Bogot\u00e1, Colombia, between January 2009 and July 2017. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 47 patients were included. Median age was 44 years (range, 26-70 years). The pre-embolization median hemoglobin level was 7.9 g\/dL (range, 5.0-11.3 g\/dL). Blood transfusions were administered to 41 women (87.2%). Bleeding control was achieved in 95.7% of cases in the first 24 hours after the embolization. There were no major complications. In 17 cases (36.2%), minor complications were reported; the most common was pelvic pain. In 17.1% of cases, a second embolization was required. After 12 months of follow-up, 27.7% of patients were alive without disease, 44.7% were alive with disease, and 25.5% of them have died of cervical cancer progression. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p> Selective pelvic vessel embolization is a useful alternative in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and life-threatening bleeding. Its impact on recurrent disease and death due to oncologic cause is not clear.
