AIM: To determine the outcome of uterine artery embolization in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids, in order to assess the response of symptoms and fibroid size. METHODS: We analyzed the results of a population study of 112 patients with uterine fibroids made in the period between 2006 and 2010. Main parameters were assessed improvement or disappearance of symptoms and downsizing the adverse effects of the procedure. RESULTS: The predominant age of the patients are in the group of 41-45 years with 80.35%, being the most common symptom of menorrhagia 66.07%, myoma volume ranged between 35cm3 and 523cm3, and procedure duration ranged from 1 hour to 2.5 hours. The most common symptoms after embolization was mild pain 44.64%, not having symptoms in 43.75%. Also it was associated nausea in 8.03% and vomiting in 3.57% as other adverse effects. After three months of treatment 47.32% had oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea was 17.85%. Fibroid size at 6 months was reduced significantly dominate the volume between 36 and 113cm3. CONCLUSION: Uterine artery embolization is an effective treatment for symptomatic fibroids, considered an alternative to surgical treatment. |
