“…In some rare cases, infection may occur after the embolization procedure which can be managed with appropriate antibiotics. Other complications comprise perianal skin shedding, uterovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas, and neurological deficits in the lower extremities [ 20 ]. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and MRA are recommended imaging modalities to evaluate the uterus after embolization.…”

Uterine arteriovenous malformations (UAVMs) are rare and abnormal entanglements of uterine arteries and veins that are potentially fatal, requiring blood transfusions in about a third of cases. Although the optimal management of the condition is not well established in the literature, surgical hysterectomy is believed to be the only definitive treatment for arteriovenous malformations. We present three cases of UAVMs treated by a minimally invasive endovascular approach. Chief complaints were heavy menstrual bleeding and sudden onset heavy bleeding. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography imaging and angiography of the pelvic vessels. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed in all patients. The follow-up period was uneventful. In our experience, the UAE provides satisfactory results in terms of success rates, complications, and short hospital stays.
