Radiological treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids
2008
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a relatively new alternative treatment for symptomatic fibroids. Recent Level 1 evidence from two major randomized controlled trials has established UAE as a safe and effective alternative to hysterectomy. Technical aspects, choice of embolic agent, safety, contra-indications and complications of the procedure will be reviewed. The available data on the effects on ovarian function, fertility and pregnancy outcomes following UAE will be presented.
