A uterine artery embolization is a procedure where an interventional radiologist uses a catheter to inject small particles into the uterine arteries. This reduces the blood supply to the fibroids and causes them to shrink.
The patient opted for the uterine artery embolization.
An MRI performed 6 months after the embolization procedure showed a favorable reduction in the size of the uterine fibroids (eFig. 5.89).
