Abstract

Uterine artery embolization is emerging as a primary treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. This procedure is performed electively but occasionally is performed emergently in the setting of life-threatening hemorrhage. Most interventional radiologists performing this procedure use ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for preprocedure evaluation and follow-up. Two case studies report the sonographic and color flow Doppler findings before, immediately after, and 3 months after uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) in an emergent UFE and an elective case. Angiographic and MRI correlation are also provided.
