This study was also aimed to determine the complications of uterine artery embolization and to document improvement ofthe symptoms post UAE. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients had bilateral uterine artery embolization(UAE) for symptomatic uterine fibroids. This study was conducted over a period of 21 months in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. All the patients had a pre-embolization Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ten of the patients had a repeat MRI three months post uterine artery embolization. One patient developed bleeding post-embolization and had a hysterectomy done. The second patient got pregnant immediately post-embolization and delivered a healthy term baby girl by caesarean section. Volume of the uterus and the dominant fibroid was calculated pre-embolization and post-embolization. Comparison was done between the volume pre-embolization and post-embolization, to see the percentage of reduction. Symptom improvement and the complication due to uterine artery embolization were also noted. Results Results show fibroid volume reduction median to be 63.82% with interquartile range of 36.78 and uterine volume reduction median to be 47.85% with interquartile range of 36.99. Symptom improvement at three months was 85-100%. The complications which occurred were mostly minor complications with one major complication requiring hysterectomy. Conclusion: UAE is an effective and a safe method of treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. There is significant symptom and volume reduction of both the uterus and the dominant fibroid. 2006 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/47405/ http://eprints.usm.my/47405/1/Assessment%20Of%20Volume%20Reduction%20Of%20Uterus%20And%20Uterine%20Fibroids%20Using%20Arterial%20Embolization...2006...mka..-24%20pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
