Application of Arterial Embolization by Catherization for Uterine Fibroid

Objective To investigate the clinical value of super-selective uterine arterial embolization for fibroid treatment.Methods 103 patients with uterine fibroid were treated by embolization after bilateral uterine super-catherization and arteriogram. The embolization materials were PVA particles and Gelfoam sticks. After the embolization, we completed follow-up documents in 67 cases. The apperance on arteriograms, the post-operative reactions, symptomatic improvement and tumor size change had been observed.Results An enlargement of the uterine artery and sign of tumor stain were noticed on the angiogram. Among the 67 patients, menorrhagia was all improved in different extent and the tumor volume decreased in all cases especially in the patients longer after operation.Conclusion Uterine arterial embolization is an easy operation with minor side effect and few complications. It is a safe and effective procedure for fibroid in controling the symptoms and shrinking the tumor.
