In women of the reproductive age who have preserved the uterus after uterine artery embolization (UAE) and are interested in restoring fertility, the clinical evaluation of long-term results of this treatment method was executed with the use both of a questionnaire survey (n = 98), and determination of the status of ovarian reserve, ovaries, thyroid gland(n = 52). Performed retro- and prospective clinical-laboratory and instrumental methods of the investigation allowed to reveal a higher risk of the development of remote complications of UAE, in particular in the premature failure of ovarian function.

Abstract Background Uterine artery embolization in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma has been rarely associated with dislodgement and expulsion of infarcted uterine fibroids through the vagina, peritoneum, or bowel wall, predominantly occurring within 6 months of uterine artery embolization. Case presentation We present the case of a 54-year-old African American woman who underwent uterine artery embolization 11 years prior and developed mechanical small bowel obstruction from the migration of fibroid through a uteroenteric fistula with ultimate impaction within the distal small bowel lumen. Small bowel resection and hysterectomy were curative. Conclusions Uteroenteric fistula with small bowel obstruction due to fibroid expulsion may present as a delayed finding after uterine artery embolization and requires heightened awareness.

Methods Of Treatment

Uterine fibroids are one of the main causes of hysterectomy. This radical method of treatment allows to control such symptoms as pain and bleeding, but significantly worsens womens quality of life, preventing them from their childbearing function. This article includes the results of domestic and foreign studies on organ-preserving methods of treatment of uterine fibroids published within 10 years. The method of uterine artery embolization, which is preferred by an increasing number of doctors and patients suffering from fibroids, is also described in the article. The search for articles was carried out in the databases Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus.
