Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of interventional therapy for symptomatic uterine fibroid by transcatheter uterine artery embolisation.
 Methods: Sixteen patients of symptomatic uterine fibroids were treated with selective uterine artery embolisation, and the relief of symptoms and reduction of fibroids were observed.
 Results: Bilateral uterine artery embolisation was done in 16 patients. Follow-up for 5 ~ 7 months showed that the clinical symptoms of 14 patients were obviously improved, and the re-examination of 1 patient of a very large myoma showed no obvious change after 6 months. B-Ultrasound showed that the size of the tumor was reduced by 43% ~ 92%. The major complication was being is postoperative lower abdominal pain.
 Conclusion: Uterine artery embolisation is a safe and effective method to treat uterine fibroid.
