Uterine artery embolization for uterine fibroids

Treating uterine fibroids with uterine artery embolization(UAE) can make fibroids mortify, shrink or even disappear, improving the clinical symptoms, and keep the physiological function of the uterus. UAE has become an effective, minimally invasive treatment method which can retain the uterus. However, some serious complications appeared in the clinical application, which even make patients die. The key to get good curative effect and avoid complications is to deal with the following issues appropriately: selecting the appropriate cases, using appropriate embolic agents and embolization particles, embolisming target artery fibroids accurately, controlling the degree of embolization, and detecting and handling complications in time.
