Blood flow in myomatous uteri as measured by intra-arterial 133Xenon
Uterine blood flow has been studied using intra-arterial 133Xenon. Compartment analysis was used for calculation of blood flow from the wash-out curves. In 7 myomatous uteri the mean blood flow was 11.6 +/- 1.70 ml-min-1-100 g-1. In 8 control cases the mean blood flow was 20.1 +/- 2.27 ml-min-1-100 g-1. The difference is statistically significant on the 1% level. From the present study it cannot be decided how the uterine blood flow is distributed between myomata and surrounding myometrium.
