Embolización de arterias uterinas para el manejo de miomas sintomáticos

Abstract

Uterine fibroids are the most common tumour in reproductive age and have a negative impact on the quality of life of patients. Cases must be treated on an individual basis. Uterine artery embolization is a minimally invasive, safe, effective treatment with a low rate of complications when used as a treatment for symptomatic fibroids. The objective of this article is to conduct a comprehensive literature review on the current status of uterine artery embolization in the treatment of fibroids, including preliminary considerations on technical approaches and case selection clinical outcomes compared with other treatment options, and outcomes in terms of quality of life and fertility.
