Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as abnormal and nonfunctional connections between the uterine arteries and veins. Although the patients typically present with vaginal bleeding, some patients may experience life-threatening massive bleeding in some circumstances. The treatment of choice depends on the symptoms, age, desire for future fertility, and localization and size of the lesion; however, embolization of the uterine artery is the first choice in symptomatic AVM in patients at reproductive age with expectations of future fertility. We report a case of acquired AVM (after D/C) with an extensive lesion, which was successfully treated with bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE).
子宫动静脉畸形（AVM）被定义为子宫动脉与静脉之间异常且无功能的连接。尽管患者通常表现为阴道出血，但在某些情况下，一些患者可能会经历危及生命的大出血。治疗方法的选择取决于症状、年龄、对未来生育的期望以及病变的位置和大小；然而，对于有生育期望的育龄期有症状的AVM患者，子宫动脉栓塞是首选治疗方法。我们报告一例获得性AVM（刮宫术后）伴有广泛病变的病例，该病例通过双侧子宫动脉栓塞（UAE）成功治愈。
