摘要
14 patients have undergone uterine artery embolization of uterine fibroids. No complications related to the procedure have occurred. In all six of the cases with available data, there has been a reduction in fibroid volume as measured with MRI at 2 months post-procedure (average reduction 43%). Technical aspects of this promising procedure are described.
