Embolization of uterine fibroids
Abdominal Imaging, 2003Since the first description of uterine artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids of the uterus in 1994, this minimally invasive procedure has been increasingly performed in many Western countries. The method is characterized by a high technical success rate of about 85%, a highly significant relief of symptoms, and a very low rate ...

Uterine Fibroid Vascularization and Clinical Relevance to Uterine Fibroid Embolization
RadioGraphics, 2005Embolization has become a first-line treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroid tumors. Selective catheterization and embolization of both uterine arteries, which are the predominant source of blood flow to fibroid tumors in most cases, is the cornerstone of treatment.

Uterine Fibroid Ablation: The Beginning of the End of Uterine Fibroid Embolization?
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2006The principles of uterine fibroid embolization have been extensively described in the literature [1–3]. In essence the technique involves the placement of a catheter into the uterine arteries followed by injection of embolization particles to obtain fibroid infarction and shrinkage.
