Long-term Outcome from Uterine Fibroid Embolization with Tris-acryl Gelatin Microspheres: Results of a Multicenter Study

Leiomyoma Infarction after Uterine Artery Embolization: A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Tris-acryl Gelatin Microspheres versus Polyvinyl Alcohol Microspheres

“…When PVA microspheres were used, 700 -900-m microspheres were used exclusively (13). When tris-acryl gelatin microspheres were used, 500 -700-m microspheres were used (21,22). At the discretion of the primary operator, 700 -900-m microspheres were added if the angiographic endpoint seemed like it would be difficult to achieve with only 500 -700-m microspheres.…”

Uterine artery embolisation versus hysterectomy for leiomyomas: primary and 2-year follow-up results of a randomised prospective clinical trial

“…Thus far, only three randomised, controlled trials have been reported [4][5][6][7][8][9], only one of which included both menorrhagia and pressure symptoms in the inclusion criteria [5]. In addition, some multicentre case series have been published that compare UAE with hysterectomy [10,11] and evaluate UAE alone [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Pain after uterine fibroid embolisation is associated with the severity of myometrial ischaemia on magnetic resonance imaging

“…Uterine artery embolisation (UAE) is considered an effective treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids [1][2][3][4], and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful follow-up technique after UAE [5][6][7][8][9]. In particular, gadoliniumenhanced MRI provides unique information for assessing the degree of infarction in the embolised fibroids [10].…”
