Uterine Artery Embolization And Gynecologic Embolotherapy

By Jean-Pierre Pelage

Written by interventional radiologists and gynaecologists, this volume is the first comprehensive reference on uterine artery embolisation, a minimally invasive procedure for treating uterine fibroids. The first section provides a thorough understanding of uterine fibroids, pelvic anatomy, gynecologic evaluation of patients with fibroids, and pelvic and uterine imaging. The second section guides practitioners step by step through the embolisation procedure, including patient selection and preparation, peri-procedural patient management, technique, choice of embolics, and pitfalls. Chapters discuss therapeutic outcomes, management of complications, and pregnancy after uterine artery embolisation. The book also includes chapters on uterine embolisation for obstetrical and gynecologic haemorrhage
