Uterine arteriovenous malformation after gestational trophoblastic disease: a report of two cases
Background:
Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is considered a rare condition. Diagnosis is critical because patients are at risk of significant vaginal hemorrhage that has been traditionally managed with surgery.
Case:
We report 2 cases of uterine AVM after gestational trophoblastic disease in young women who were treated with uterine artery embolization, allowing preservation of reproductive capability.
Conclusion:
Embolization addresses both the preservation of future reproductive function and the prevention of major surgery and anesthesia. Success rates have been quoted as > 90% with minimal complications after uterine artery embolization.
