Abstract:
Objective: To explore the feasibility of 3D DSA in guidance of uterine artery catheterization (UAE). Methods: A total of 20 patients, including symptomatic uterine leiomyoma (n=8), postpartum hemorrhage (n=5), scar pregnancy (n=3), adenomyosis (n=1) and advanced cervical cancer (n=3) underwent UAE guided by 3D DSA (3D group, n=10) or 2D DSA (2D group, n=10). The relevant clinical indexes of 2 groups were compared. Results: UAE was successfully performed in all 20 patients (40 uterine arteries).No blood supply from ovarian artery was found. The operation time, catheterization time and fluoroscopy time were both shorter, and the dosage of contrast agent and radiation doses were all lower in 3D group than those in 2D group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: 3D DSA can be used to guid UAE, with shorter operation time and lower radiation dose than traditional 2D DSA.
