Uterine Myomas: Endovascular Treatment

Abstract

Uterine fibroids embolization is a safe and effective organ sparing treatment for fibroid-related symptoms based on a broad range of published evidence including randomized-controlled trials. Indication to treatment is usually the presence of symptomatic uterine fibroids. In this review, a systematic search of journal articles relevant to the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids was conducted, with a special focus on the indication to treatment, technique, procedural outcomes and pain control. All clinical trials published in English language, representing original research, and reporting clinical outcomes associated with interventions for the management of symptomatic uterine fibroids were considered.
