Pre- and Post-Embolization Angiogram
Pre-embolization angiogram | Post-embolization angiogram |
Figure A - Bilateral uterine artery injection demonstrates enlarged tortuous vessels supplying the fibroids. | Figure B - After successful embolization, there is no further flow, indicating no further forward flow of blood to the fibroids |
Pre- and Post-Embolization of the Left Uterine Fibroid
Figure A - Injection of the left uterine artery shows enlarged, tortuous arteries supplying the fibroids. | Figure B - Cessation of blood flow to the fibroids following embolization. |
MRI of the Pelvis Pre-Embolization and Post-Embolization
Serial image obtained prior to UFE, 3 months after UFE, 6 months after UFE and 1 year after UFE demonstrates shrinkage of the fibroid. See arrows. |
MRI of the Uterus Pre-Embolization and Post-Embolization
Serial image obtained prior to UFE and 6 months after UFE demonstrates nearly complete elimination of the fibroid. |
