简介
PURPOSE
To report the 12-month clinical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging results of an ongoing two-center registry involving acrylamido polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microspheres for uterine artery embolization (UAE) for leiomyomas.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 69 patients underwent UAE with 500–700-μm, 700–900-μm, and 900–1,200-μm acrylamido PVA microspheres (BeadBlock). Thirty-three patients underwent UAE with a limited embolization (protocol A) and 36 patients underwent UAE with stasis as the angiographic endpoint (protocol B). Primary objectives were clinical efficacy measured by a leiomyoma-specific quality of life (QOL) questionnaire and infarction rate of leiomyomas on early contrast agent–enhanced MR imaging. Secondary objectives were in-hospital complications, patient satisfaction, and frequency of clinical failure.
RESULTS
Bilateral embolization was technically successful …
