Uterine artery embolization (UAE) effectively stops uterine bleeding and reduces fibroid size, offering a minimally invasive treatment with a one-day hospital stay. This procedure provides a valuable alternative to surgery for women with uterine fibroids.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors causing abnormal uterine bleeding.
  • Traditional surgical treatments like myomectomy or hysterectomy involve significant morbidity and recovery time.
  • Surgery may not be ideal for unmarried women or those desiring future fertility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in treating uterine fibroids.
  • To assess UAE as an alternative to surgical intervention for symptomatic fibroids.
  • To determine the impact of UAE on uterine bleeding and fibroid size.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-five patients underwent UAE via bilateral femoral artery puncture.
  • The patient cohort included women with uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and other conditions.

  • Ultrasound follow-up was conducted after three months.

    • Main Results:

    • UAE was successful in all patients, with bleeding cessation in 100%.
    • Mean procedural time was 75 minutes, and hospital stay was limited to one day.
    • Significant fibroid size reduction was observed in most patients, with complete disappearance in 8 and >75% reduction in 11.

    Conclusions:

    • Uterine artery embolization is an effective therapy for controlling uterine bleeding associated with fibroids.
    • UAE successfully reduces fibroid size and alleviates associated symptoms.
    • The procedure offers a minimally invasive option with a short hospital stay, preserving fertility in some cases.
