Conclusion: This study shows that uterine fibroid embolisation induces a significant long-term decrease in myoma size and perfusion while healthy uterine tissue remains unaffected. Fibroid-related symptoms are reduced for the sake of improved quality of life.

Conclusion: In this analysis, in the year following incident diagnosis, U.S. patients aged ≤50 years with UF and a history of HMB were more likely to receive UF treatment, either surgical or pharmacologic, than women without claims for HMB. Apart from HMB, pain was the most commonly documented symptom of UF. These findings highlight the need...

Conclusion: The results of our study support the statement made by previous authors that unilateral uterine artery embolization might be performed electively in patients with unilateral fibroid disease, as it is associated with a high rate of clinical success, overall patient satisfaction and acceptable rate of re-interventions.

Discussion: Our review suggests that the junctional zone is distinguished from the middle and outer myometrium by gradual changes in smooth muscle cell density, extracellular space, connective tissue, water content, and vascular properties. Clinicians should be aware that findings on MRI cannot readily be extrapolated to ultrasound.

Conclusion: Incremental increases in hematocrit result in a significantly decreased risk of blood transfusion at the time of myomectomy.
