fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus during female reproductive age. uterine artery embolization (uae) using embolic particles (pva, gelfoam) to occlude the uterine arteries, have been reported as a relatively safe, effective, and durable nonsurgical alternative to hysterectomy in diminishing fibroid-related symptoms. to block the arterial blood supply to the fibroid complet...

background uterine artery embolization (uae) is a minimally invasive procedure performed under fluoroscopy for the treatment of uterine fibroids and accompanied by radiation exposure. objectives to compare ovarian radiation doses during uterine artery embolization (uae) in patients using conventional digital subtraction angiography (dsa) with those using digital flat-panel technology. patients ...

introduction placenta accreta is an increasingly common complication of pregnancy that can result in massive hemorrhage. case presentation we describe two cases of placenta accreta, with successful conservative management in a referral hospital in tehran, iran. in both cases, two procedures were performed: compression suture (b-lynch) and a perfusion-decreasing procedure (bilateral uterine arte...

background: the present study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of bilateral uterine artery ligation (bual) on the ovarian follicular fate, and alterations in carbohydrate, lipid, lipase and serum levels of f9sh, lh, prolactin, estrogen and progesterone. methods: twenty-four mature female rabbits divided into two test and control-sham groups. the animals underwent ovariohystrectomy...

background: the purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of uterine blood flow parameters measured by uterine artery two-dimensional (2d)-power color doppler (pcd) ultrasound in predicting fertility outcomes in women undergoing ivf-et cycles. methods: in this prospective observational study, a total of 188 infertile women who underwent ivf-et cycles were investigated. uterine artery 2d-pd ...

UNLABELLED Uterine artery adaptations during gestation facilitate increases in uterine blood flow and fetal growth. HYPOTHESIS local expression and distribution of uterine artery connexins play roles in mediating in vivo gestational eNOS activation and NO production. We established an ovine model restricting pregnancy to a single uterine horn and measured uterine blood flow, uterine artery sh...

INTRODUCTION Haemorrhages from the genital tract remain a major threat to the life of patients with advanced cervical cancer. It is possible to achieve haemostasis by both surgical techniques and the procedure of endovascular uterine artery embolization. However, in some women with loco-regionally advanced cervical cancer the obliteration of the uterine arteries is not effective. AIM Evaluati...

Background & Objectives: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) occurs in some women. There is much evidence that increased uterine blood flow resistance (reduced uterine perfusion) increases the risk of RM. This study was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, alone or in combination with aspirin, in the reduction of uterine blood flow resistance in women with a history of RM. Metho...
