Uterine Artery Embolization: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Proposal for Research.

Abstract

Uterine leiomyomata are a common cause of gynecologic symptoms and major gynecologic surgery. Common treatments for these benign tumors include medical therapy, hysterectomy, and myomectomy. The objective of this project was to review and synthesize the existing literature on a minimally invasive technique for reducing symptoms from uterine leiomyomata, uterine artery embolization (UAE); and, using an expert panel approach, develop an agenda for research into the long and short term outcomes of this technique.
