OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of uterine artery embolization on Anti-Müllerian hormone levels for women under 40 years of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS Non-randomized, observational study of women under 40 years of age and who received UAE. Twenty-seven women under the age of 40 who underwent UAE were included in the study. Hormone levels were measured prior to UAE, and at least six months p...

INTRODUCTION Cesarean scar pregnancy is the rarest kind of ectopic pregnancy. The immediate prognosis depends on the risks associated with uterine rupture and massive bleeding. CASE PRESENTATION A 32-year-old woman (gravida 2, para 1) presented with massive vaginal bleeding. A Cesarean scar pregnancy was diagnosed. She was treated by local methotrexate injection, followed by uterine artery em...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive treatment option for symptomatic fibroids. Long-term follow-up studies have shown that at five-year follow-up after UAE, up to 30% of patients required a hysterectomy. Therefore, it seems of utmost importance to identify patients, who are unlikely to benefit from UAE. It has been postulated that the percentage ...

Objective: To review the incidence, indications, characteristics, and clinical outcomes of classical Caesarean section at a regional hospital in Hong Kong. Methods: This was a retrospective case-series study of all women who underwent a classical Caesarean section over an 8-year period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2015 in our unit. Epidemiological data, indications for classical Caesarean...

OBJECTIVE To compare the long-term results of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) with surgery for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. DESIGN Pragmatic, open, multicentre, randomised trial. SETTING Twenty-seven participating UK secondary care centres. SAMPLE Women aged ≥18 years with symptomatic fibroids who were considered to justify surgical treatment. METHODS In total, 157 women w...

Since the first description of uterine artery embolisation for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids of the uterus in 1994, this minimally invasive procedure has been increasingly performed in many countries. Transcatheter embolisation of the uterine arteries feeding large fibroids is a minimally invasive technique. This paper presents the combined endovascular and surgical therapy in the treat...

Pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery is a rare and poorly understood complication Caesarean section or endocavitary manipulation. It can be responsible for severe postpartum hemorrhage, most often secondary retarded. We present here case pseudoaneurysm left diagnosed treated in gynecological-obstetrics department I, CHU HASSAN II DE FES. The diagnosis was guided by ultrasound but arteriography ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of surgery in the management of high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. STUDY DESIGN Twenty-four (48%) of 50 patients treated with etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide and vincristine (EMA-CO) regimen as primary or secondary chemotherapy for high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia between 1986 and 2005 underwent 28 adjuvant surgi...

PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of anastomoses between uterine and ovarian arteries on angiography and their impact on changes in basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level after uterine artery embolization (UAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive premenopausal women who underwent UAE for symptomatic uterine leiomyomata according to a uniform embolization technique with tris-acryl gelati...

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of acrylamido polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel microspheres (A-PVAM) for uterine artery embolisation for leiomyoma in our centre in Hong Kong. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed cases that underwent uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic leiomyomas using A-PVAM from 2009 to 2012 in a single local institute. Preand post-embolisation magnetic resonance i...
