Objective: Symptomatic Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can result in sudden and massive vaginal bleeding that can be life-threatening. We report a new fertility-preserving treatment modality for disastrous bleeding caused by acquired uterine AVM: Combination laparoscopic ligation of uterine arteries and AVM suture. Case report: A 39-year-old female received Dilatation and Curettage due to missed abortion. However, she experienced heavy vaginal bleeding after surgery. Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonography, hysteroscopy, and angiography. She was successfully treated using laparoscopy bilateral uterine arteries ligation followed by application of uterine AVM suture with absorbable barbed wound closure device. After the laparoscopic surgery, vaginal bleeding stopped immediately. Complete regression of the AVM lesion on sonography was noted 8 months after laparoscopic surgery. Besides, this patient had normal menstruation after the operation. Conclusion: This case report describes for the first time a successful combination of bilateral uterine artery ligation and AVM suture to treat a patient with uterine arteriovenous malformation. We demonstrated the efficacy and safety of this fertility preserving method. |
