Uterine Fibroid Embolization
The physicians at USA Vascular Centers are
trained and experienced in the treatment of
fibroids, specifically through a procedure called
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). This
procedure is conducted in our clinics, on an
outpatient basis. A vascular surgeon is best
trained to perform these procedures because
shrinking or destroying the fibroid depends upon
blocking the artery that supplies blood to it.

UFE is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical
treatment for fibroids and whenever possible, a
good alternative to having a hysterectomy. It is
important to note that UFE should be considered
only if you are not planning on getting pregnant.
The risks to pregnancy from the treatment are
unknown.

UFE procedure is conducted on an outpatient basis
in our clinics, by a highly trained, experienced

procedure, you will experience the following
6
First we will make sure that you are warm and
comfortable. We will give you a light sedative to
make sure that you are relaxed.
Then our vascular surgeon will use our advanced
ultrasound to find the specific location of the
fibroid or fibroids.
After numbing the local area, a tiny catheter
will be inserted through a very small incision in
your upper thigh.
7
Using the ultrasound as a guide, the surgeon will
thread the catheter into the uterine artery that
is supplying blood to the fibroids
Small particles will flow through the catheter,
blocking the arteries and the blood flow, causing
the fibroids to shrink.
Then the catheter is removed and a small bandage
is placed over the incision which is so small
that stitches are not required. The procedure
takes approximately 90 minutes.
