În cazurile de miom uterin simptomatic este acceptată metoda alternativă de tratament prin embolizarea arterelor uterine. În acest aspect abordarea terapeutică este influenţată de aşa factori ca dimensiunile, localizarea şi numărul nodulilor miomatoşi, simptomele persistente şi dorinţa pacientei de a avea în viitor copii. Autorii prezintă rezultatele unui studiou clinic prospectiv asupra a 30 de cazuri de miom uterin, tratate prin EAU.

In cases of smptomatic uterine fibroids, the most widely accepted alternative to surgery is the catheter-supported embolization of uterine arteries (uterine artery embolization, UAE). In this aspect, the therapeutic approach should be influenced less by the preference of the (potential) surgeon, and more by factors like size, localization, and number of fibroids. In addition, symptoms and the wish to have children should be considered. The autors present a prospective clinical study of a lot of 30 cases of patients with uterine myoma, that were treated by means of UAE.
