Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an established technique that has been used to stop life-threatening vaginal hemorrhage in women with malignancy, postpartum uterine atony, or traumatic injury since the mid-1970s [8,18,52,64,112]. The first successful treatment of symptomatic fibroids of the uterus by UAE was reported by Ravina et al. in 1994 [150].
