The use of transcatheter uterine artery embolization as a treatment for uterine fibroids represents a new approach to the management of this common problem. Early reports of uterine artery embolization as a treatment of symptomatic fibroids have indicated significant symptomatic improvement as well as reduction in the size of fibroids. We have been performing this procedure for two years at the Christiana Care Hospital. We describe two representative cases with clinical follow up on 12 of our patients and briefly review the literature on uterine artery embolization for uterine fibroids.
经导管子宫动脉栓塞术用于治疗子宫肌瘤是处理这一常见问题的一种新方法。早期关于子宫动脉栓塞术治疗有症状子宫肌瘤的报告表明，症状有显著改善，肌瘤大小也有所缩小。我们在克里斯蒂安娜关怀医院开展这一手术已有两年。我们描述了两例有代表性的病例，并对我们12例患者进行了临床随访，还简要回顾了关于子宫肌瘤子宫动脉栓塞术的文献。
