Fibroid disease is common and causes significant health problems in women of childbearing age. Over the past several years, uterine artery embolization (UAE) has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic uterine myomata. Embolotherapy is effective in relieving myoma-related symptoms in 80% to 90% of patients. It requires shorter hospitalizations than traditional surgical therapies for myoma disease and is associated with faster recovery and lower complication risks than surgery. Patient selection, the UAE procedure, and post-UAE management are reviewed.
子宫肌瘤疾病很常见，在育龄女性中会引发严重的健康问题。在过去几年中，子宫动脉栓塞术（UAE）已成为有症状子宫肌瘤的一种微创治疗方法。栓塞疗法在80%至90%的患者中能有效缓解肌瘤相关症状。与肌瘤疾病的传统手术治疗相比，它所需的住院时间更短，恢复更快，并发症风险更低。本文对患者选择、UAE手术及UAE术后管理进行了综述。
