Summary:

Written by interventional radiologists and gynecologists, this volume is the first comprehensive reference on uterine artery embolization, a minimally invasive procedure for treating uterine fibroids. The first section provides a thorough understanding of uterine fibroids, pelvic anatomy, gynecologic evaluation of patients with fibroids, and pelvic and uterine imaging. The second section guides practitioners step by step through the embolization procedure, including patient selection and preparation, peri-procedural patient management, technique, choice of embolics, and pitfalls. Chapters discuss therapeutic outcomes, management of complications, and pregnancy after uterine artery embolization. The book also includes chapters on uterine embolization for obstetrical and gynecologic hemorrhage.
