Uterine artery embolization

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...

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. In this case, diffuse necrosis of the vaginal wall and cervix was found, attributed to distal penetration of spheres measuring 500-700 p in diameter... [Pg.20]

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]

Finally, fetal growth retardation (FGR) is reported to occur in patients after uterine artery embolization this was reported in one case by Cordonnier etal. [50]. [Pg.115]
