Uterine artery

Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are the most common type of solid tumors in adult women, clinically apparent in at least 25% of those of reproductive age [24-26]. Abnormal menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility are the most commonly experienced symptoms in these women. Uterine fibroids are the leading cause of hysterectomies performed in the United States, accounting for over 200,000 of these procedures each year. Other invasive surgical interventions for the treatment of uterine fibroids include myomectomy and uterine artery embolization. Leiomyomas are estrogen-responsive tumors that can be treated... [Pg.149]

The blood supply to the vagina is through the uterine arteries and the internal iliac artery. Blood returns to the venous system through veins that empty into the internal iliac vein. Lymphatic drainage is through the external and internal iliac lymph nodes and superficial inguinal lymph nodes. [Pg.397]

The subtype of muscarinic receptor in the smooth muscle has been characterized as M3 by use of selective anticholinergics and different smooth muscle preparations from different species. These smooth muscle tissues include (l)trachea (22), ileum (23, 24), uterine artery (25), and submucosal arterioles of guinea pig (26) (2) aorta (27) and coronary artery of rabbit (28) and (3) trachea (29), aorta (30), and iris (3 l)of rat. Human uterine arteries (32), airways (33), and ciliary muscles (34) have also been shovm to contain the M3 type of muscarinic receptors. [Pg.118]

There have been complications reported in association with the use of trisacryl gelatin microspheres. De Blok et al. reported a case of fatal sepsis after uterine artery embolization performed with this agent.

Apart from the classic pattern in which the uterine artery arises from the medial aspect of llA, there are many other variants that have been identified (please see Chap. 10.3). It may also arise from its anterior or lateral aspect of the IIA [18]. The origin of the uterine artery from the main IIA itself or from the aorta has also been described [18]. A common trunk between the uterine artery and vesical artery is another important variant that might lead to inadvertent vesical ischemia in cases of non-tar-geted embolization [19]. The uterine artery may also duplicate as illustrated by Redlich et al. [20]. The ovarian artery represents the second main vessel for PPH [21, 22]. The ovarian artery that participates in uterine blood supply could represent the major feeding vessel to the uterus as demonstrated in UFE literature [23] (Fig. 9.2). Recently, Saraiya et al. illustrated uterine artery replacement by the round ligament artery during embolization for leio-... [Pg.109]

Catheterization of bilateral uterine arteries is mandatory. A cobra-shaped catheter is the best catheter to use for easy insertion into uterine arteries. The cobra catheter is available in three different types, each according to the degree of opening of the curve. The medium sized catheter (C2) is the one most commonly used. When using a 4-F catheter, one should make sure that the lumen of the catheter is able to accept 0.038-in. guidewire for possible microcatheter use. The contralateral internal iliac artery is catheterized first and can be reached by pushing the cobra. In some difficult cases, a curved catheter, such as SOS or sidewinder, could be handy to cross the aortic bifurcation. [Pg.111]

The ipsilateral uterine artery access is obtained using the Waltman loop. When the angle of aortic bifurcation is too tight, again the use of a sidewinder allows for easy catheterization. [Pg.111]

Angiography can detect contrast medium extravasation however, this is not seen in the majority of cases. Contrast media extravasations were observed in 18% of patients in a recent study [33]. Even without extravasation, bilateral uterine artery embolization needs to be performed. [Pg.111]

For this reason, when an embolotherapy is planned we recommend immediate cessation of prostaglandin Ej agonist infusion. In case of arterial spasm at the ostium of the uterine artery, the use of a coaxial system with a microcatheter is then required. It is possible to successfully catheterize the distal part of the uterine artery in most cases. In these circumstances, the preferred embolic agent is the one that can be easily delivered through a microcatheter, such as PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) or Embospheres. We prefer to use particles with larger diameters, such as Embospheres 700-900 mg. Even if these particles are used for the above-mentioned reasons, additional Gelfoam embolization of internal iliac arteries is performed because of the extensive collateral pathways of the female pelvis. [Pg.112]
