Intraoperative microvascular assessment with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) during uterine artery embolisation (UAE): a case report and literature review
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a cost-effective, quick, and non-invasive imaging modality that has yet to be incorporated in uterine artery embolization (UAE). We present two cases that demonstrate the utility of CEUS in UAE for the identification of uterine-ovarian collaterals which otherwise can result in ineffective fibroid treatment and non-target embolization.
