At the present time, contraindications specific to UFE are still being established. However, the relative contraindications to angiography apply to this procedure, including a history of a severe allergic reaction to iodinated contrast material. Because hysterectomy is a proven alternative to UFE, patients with a history of anaphylaxis may choose to undergo surgery rather than risk a potentially lethal reaction during UFE. We have recently performed UFE in a patient with a history of anaphylaxis to iodinated contrast material with use of CO2 and gadolinium as the angiographic con |
