EMBOLIZATION OF THE UTERINE ARTERIES - THE MODERN METHOD OF TREATMENT OF THE MYOMA OF THE UTERUS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was an estimation of efficiency and safety of the uterine arteries embolization. We examined 27 patients with the uterus myoma in the age of 26 — 44 years old with clinical signs of disease as polymenorrhea and (or) menometrorrhagia. Embolization of the uterine arteries by polyvinylalcohol was provided to patients with absolute indications to operative treatment who refused that for the various reasons. The clinical effect as the termination of the uterine bleedings has been marked in 24 cases. Reduction of the uterus in average up to 40% in 60 days after the embolization is registered in all cases. At control examination in 12 months the reduction of the uterus up to 60-70% was observed in 14 cases. All patients had subjective improvement after the intervention.
