ЭМБОЛИЗАЦИЯ МАТОЧНЫХ АРТЕРИЙ ДЛЯ ЛЕЧЕНИЯ ЛЕЙОМИОМЫ МАТКИ

A leiomyoma uterus is a prevailing gynecological pathology. When conservative therapy does not yield results, it is an indication for surgical treatment in the form of myomectomy or hysterectomy. More then twenty years uterine arterial embolization has been successfully used in obstetrics and gynecology to stop post-natal and postoperative bleedings. The paper describes the possibility to apply the embolization of uterine arteries as an independent method in leiomyoma treatment. Literature analysis allows drawing a conclusion that this procedure is very effective, low-invasive and relatively safe alternative to hysterectomy.
