Abstract
BackgroundThere has been increasing interest in medical management of uterine Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) in hemodynamically stable patients as a means of decreasing the need for invasive treatment that may impact fertility. CasesAmongst six cases of sonographically diagnosed uterine AVM managed medically with combined oral contraceptive pills or medroxyprogesterone acetate, three experienced complete resolution and three experienced partial resolution. Amongst those with complete resolution, all had a subsequent pregnancy that had no complication attributable to previous AVM or medical therapy. Amongst those with partial resolution, one is currently pregnant, one remains on therapy, and one has discontinued treatment with resumption of normal menses. ConclusionMedical management is effective in completely or partially resolving uterine AVMs. Subsequent pregnancies in this population are feasible and are not at higher risk for perinatal complications.
