The influence of ovarian artery on the outcomes of uterine fibroid embolization / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Although many studies have confirmed that uterine arterial embolization has good short-term and long- term effects for the treatment of uterine fibroids, certain failure rate does exist. Many researches have indicated that the surgical failure is mainly related to the collateral arterial supplies, among which the ovarian artery supply is the commonest cause. This review aims to make a further understanding of the influence of ovarian artery on the outcomes of uterine fibroid embolization.
