Abstract:
Objective To research the blood supply changes of uterine and fibroid before and after UAE for uterine fibroids.Methods Sixteen patients with symptomatic uterine myoma were treated by Seldinger's bilateral uterine arteries embolization.The same level dynamic enhanced CT scans were undertaken 7 days before and after the procedure with another one 3 months later.The CT values of uterine and fibroid were measured and analyzed. Results 16 cases finished the same level dynamic CT enhancement scans successfully. The dynamic enhanced curves and the CT values showed no significant difference in uterine but had significant difference in fibroids. The fibroids were in a state of ischemia after the procedure.Conclusions Selective uterine arterial embolization is a new safety and effective method for treatment of uterine myoma.
