“…In addition, all patients experienced some degree of crampy pelvic pain after the embolization procedure. The peak of the pain episode typically occurred on the first day, diminished rapidly thereafter, and usually resolved within a week (8). In our cases, the prevention of infection was started before the embolization procedure and pain control was started immediately after the embolization procedure.…”

“…Because there have been only a few reports on this procedure for cervical pregnancy, the complications from this procedure have not been clearly revealed. However, from the experience of selective embolization of uterine artery for non-surgical management of uterine myoma (8), complications from pelvic embolization procedures fall into three categories: complications from angiography, pelvic infection, and ischemic phenomena. These include groin hematoma, acute endometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, transient or permanent amenorrhea.…”

Preoperative Uterine Artery Embolization and Evacuation in the Management of Cervical Pregnancy: Report of Two Cases

et al. 2001

Preoperative uterine artery embolization and cervical evacuation as conservative management of cervical pregnancy has been tried in recent years. However, cervical suturing, vasoconstrictor injection, or cervical ballooning was frequently used as an ancillary measures in those procedures in most of the previous studies. We report two cases of cervical pregnancy that were successfully treated with preoperative uterine artery embolization and removal of gestational material without ancillary procedures. Our therapeutic modality seems to be safe and effective for conservative management of cervical pregnancy.

“…The high degree of technical success of 96% reported in our study is comparable with American and European studies and is also as per SCVIR guidelines. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The most common reason for technical failure was difficulty in cannulising arteries. 12 In our study majority of cases were canulated at the first attempt and remaining in second attempt.…”

Role of uterine artery embolisation in the treatment of symptomatic fibroids

et al. 2017

Background: Uterine fibroids are the most common tumor in the female reproductive tract with high incidence of 40%. The objectives were to evaluate the technical success of the uterine artery embolisation in symptomatic fibroids and to evaluate improvement of symptoms and determine complications. Methods: Total 15 patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids were undergone uterine artery embolisation over a period of two years. The patients were followed with pelvic ultrasound immediately after the procedure and at 2 and 6 months intervals after procedure.Results: There was significant reduction in size of fibroids and improvement of symptoms after the procedure. Technical success rate and clinical success rate are 96% and 93% respectively which are comparable with other international studies. The complications with this procedure are few. The most common complication is pelvic pain.Conclusions: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign pelvic neoplasms, affecting nearly 40% of women of reproductive age. In the management of symptomatic fibroids uterine artery embolisation is a safe and effective alternative to surgery with markedly reduced morbidity and mortality.
