Abstract

THE growing evidence of the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) has led to its acceptance as a treatment for fibroids in many centers around the world. It has created considerable interest among women and in the mainstream press. Gynecologists are becoming aware of the procedure and many are regularly referring patients for evaluation and treatment. The published case series are uniformly positive in their assessment of outcome (1–10).
