Abstract:
Premature menopause can be developed as a result of undesired nontarget ovary embolization during the performance of uterine fibroid embolization. The etiology of ovarian failure after uterine fibroid embolization is not yet clearly defined, but one of the leading possibilities is nontarget embolization of the ovaries. We report here on two cases in which superselective coil embolization of distal uterine artery collateral pathways to the ovary was performed during uterine fibroid embolization.
