How Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is performed
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is performed by an interventional team under image guidance, usually inserting a catheter through the upper limb or groin artery and selectively entering the uterine artery. Suitable sized embolic materials are usually injected to block the blood supply to the fibroids, while preserving perfusion to the surrounding tissues as much as possible. Postoperative monitoring of pain, body temperature, and blood changes aims to gradually shrink the fibroids and alleviate related symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
