Abstract
THE method of uterine artery embolization (UAE) has been extensively described in the literature (1–5). In essence, it involves the placement of a catheter into the uterine arteries and injection of embolization particles into the uterine arteries to obtain infarction and shrinkage of leiomyomata. There are some differences in technique among operators, with some catheterizing the uterine arteries directly with 4-F or 5-F catheters (1–3) and other using microcatheters (4,5). When considering the choice of an embolization agent, the physical properties (eg, granulometric distribution, compressibility) and the method of delivery should be considered.
