Abstract:
Pathological changes of uterine fibroide after transcatheter uterine artery embolization(TUAE) has been proven with regular pathological change during the elapse time after TUAE resulting in fibrotic proliferation. Inflammation took place first, followed by coagulation necrosis and hyaline degeneration but incomplete in most cases and finally with proliferative fibrous tissue formation. These dynamic changes of pathology are basis for fibroid volume reduction and recurrences. The factors affecting the extent of fibroid necrosis included tumor size,position and elapse of duration after TUAE. Inflammation was found in normal uterine tissue after TUAE but no necrosis occurred. The finding of embolization agent in peripheral vessels of adnexa may suggest future possible damage of function in ovary and fallopian tube. (J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 507-509)
