Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is often complicated by the development of uterine bleeding. In urgent gynecology for the implementation of endovascular hemostasis, uterine artery embolization (UAE) is used. Performing UAE allows to stop and/or significantly reduce the intensity of bleeding and prepare a patient for surgical intervention. At the same time, the morphological changes that occur in uterine tissues in operated UL patients after performing the UAE are not studied. The aim was to study the peculiarities of pathomorphological changes in uterine tumors and tissues in operated UL patients complicated by uterine bleeding after performing UAE. Material and methods. The results of morphological changes appearing in tumors and tissues of the uterus in 39 operated UL patients, who were used for stopping uterine bleeding, were analyzed. Results. After applying different types of embolizing agents in macroscopic study of the uterus, signs of ischemia of its tissues were revealed, and the most pronounced disorders were detected in the UL nodes. Morphologically it was established that UAE microemboli resulted in vessel occlusion with increasing thrombosis in their distal sections. UAE was not accompanied by occlusal occlusion of the arteries and resulted in small-scale necrosis of the tumor with complete regeneration of the endometrium. Conclusions. The results of the morphological study showed that after the UAE was performed, the myomatous nodes underwent dystrophic, necrobiotic and necrotic changes. Depending on the nature of occlusion of the uterine arteries, various variants of necrosis (scale and completeness of the process) developed in the tumor tissue, which was aseptic in nature.

Abstract Background Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially fatal condition requiring urgent and appropriate intervention. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) has a high hemostatic capacity for PPH, but it may fail. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has been reported as a risk factor associated with the failure of UAE. Case presentation A 37-year-old primigravida with dichorionic diamniotic twins and placenta previa underwent cesarean section. The blood loss during surgery was 4950 mL. Hemostasis was achieved using an intrauterine balloon tamponade device. However, she lost a further 2400 mL of blood 5 h after surgery. We embolized both uterine arteries using gelatin sponges and confirmed hemostasis. She was suffering from DIC and received ample blood transfusions. However, a further 1300 mL of blood was lost 18 h after surgery and we performed repeated UAE, with complete recanalization of the uterine arteries on both sides and re-embolization with gelatin sponges. Her DIC was treated successfully by blood transfusions at this time, and she showed no further bleeding after the repeated UAE. Conclusions DIC is a risk factor for the failure of UAE. Repeated UAE may be effective after sufficient improvement of the hematological status in patients with PPH and DIC.

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a well-accepted treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids, but endpoints of UAE remain controversial. This is of significant concern as incomplete embolization can lead to treatment failure, necessitating repeat embolization or alternative treatments such as hysterectomy. Multiple potential causes of UAE failure have been described including failure to catheterize one or both of the uterine arteries, uterine artery spasm, clumping of embolic material and collateral blood supply vascularizing the fibroids. In this review, we discuss potential approaches to identifying collateral blood supply to the uterus and suggest that intra-procedural non-contrast cone beam CT provides unique advantages to addressing this issue.

Selective arterial embolization (SAE) of the uterine arteries is an alternative to surgery when medical management fails in cases of intractable posrtpartum haemorrhage. It is highly efficacious with low complication rate. Here we report a case of repeated broad ligament haematoma managed by selective uterine artery embolization. Present case 28year old P4L4 was referred from a district hospital as post LSCS case with broad ligament haematoma. Patients general condition was very poor at the time of admission. She underwent laparotomy twice and finally uterine artery embolization for repeated broad ligament haematoma and responded. Massive obstetric haemorrhage remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. The threshold for uterine artery embolization (UAE) in women with obstetric haemorrhage should be low, as it is coupled with a high clinical effectiveness rate, low complication rate and preservation of fertility. However, it requires an infrastructure, multidisciplinary approach, as well as speedy and effective interaction between various specialties.

Leiomyomas, also termed as fibroids, are benign smooth, muscle neoplasms seen in 70–80% of women by the age of 50 years. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that involves cessation of vascular supply to the fibroids, by infusion of gelatinous microspheres into the uterine arteries. Pyomyoma is a suppurative leiomyoma, secondary to infection of necrotic tissue. It is an infrequent complication of uterine artery embolization (UAE). Pyomyoma can lead to sepsis, peritonitis, and respiratory distress syndrome resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Due to its rarity, high suspicion is crucial in the diagnosis, and prompt treatment is recommended to reduce mortality. Ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging assist in diagnosis. We present a case of a 44-year-old woman with ruptured pyomyoma, following an UAE intervention. The patient was treated with total abdominal hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy along with peritoneal irrigation and drainage.

The purpose of the article was to evaluate trends of uterine submucousal myomas after the embolization of uterine arteries. Uterine fibroids are a common disease in women of reproductive age, accounting for 10 to 30 %, according to various authors. The submucous location of the myomatous node is an unfavorable type of localization of fibroids since it almost always requires surgical treatment. In this work, we would like to report on the results of endovascular x-ray occlusion of the uterine arteries in the treatment of submucous myomatous nodes. Percutaneous through catheter occlusion of uterine arteries with submucousal myomatous nodes was performed in 21 patients where 18 of them through the femoral, and 3 of them through beam access. The patients’ age was under 32 up to 47 with average 36,5. Myomatous nodes’ size is from 3,0 till 9,0 centimeters. There were noted self-expulsions of 10 from 21 submucousal myomatous nodes after X-ray endovascular occlusion during the 7 days and until 3 months. In the gynecological department they performed removal of partially born submucosal nodes in 3 out of 21 patients within 3 months. In the remaining 8 of 21 observations (381 %), submucosal nodes underwent myolysis in the following 12 months. After X-ray endovascular occlusion there might be expulsion or myolysis of myoma nodes in different terms during the submucosal myomatous of uterine.

Background and Objectives: The most utilized approach for the embolization of uterine arteries is the transfemoral path. However, the transradial approach (TRA) has been gaining popularity among cardiologic interventions in the last years but only few studies have shown its applicability in uterine myoma treatment. The objective of this paper is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of TRA when compared with the transbrachial, transulnar or transfemoral approach (TFA) for uterine arteries embolization (UAE). Materials and methods: A systematic review of the literature that analyzes the TRA for UAE it was carried out, in order to assess its safety and effectiveness. It was systematically searched the literature (Google Scholar, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Embase) using the words “uterine artery embolization”/“uterine embolization” and “transradial”/“radial”. All the relevant papers published until March 2020 were retrieved and analyzed. Results: Ten studies were considered eligible for this topic. TRA is a comparable method with TFA for uterine artery embolization. Conclusions: These studies allowed us to conclude that TRA is as safe and efficient as TFA. Its advantages include few complications, shorter hospitalization period, and rapid mobilization but a steeper learning curve has the disadvantage of a longer learning curve compared to TFA. Yet, these findings are built on few reports and more research is needed.

ABSTRACT Uterine leiomyomata commonly known as fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus that are a common cause of heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and pressure symptoms in women. The traditional method of treatment for these benign tumors has been surgery as long-term medical therapies have not shown to be effective. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) a minimally invasive, interventional radiological technique, wherein complete occlusion of both the uterine arteries with particulate emboli are carried out, has been found to be an effective and safe alternative in the treatment of menorrhagia and other fibroid-related symptoms in women not desiring future fertility or who are poor surgical candidates. This treatment modality available in all major institutions may be instituted as an alternative to hysterectomy in young women wishing to preserve the uterus. UAE a cost-effective modality associated with a short hospital stay has significant advantages over conventional surgeries in the treatment of myomas.
