Successful Control of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation of Fibroid Uterus in a Woman With Eisenmenger Syndrome
Uterine fibroid causes heavy menstrual bleeding and can be difficult to manage particularly in patients with complicated medical history. We present a woman with Eisenmenger syndrome, who presented with heavy...
Discussion: The case illustrates HIFU ablation can be a useful treatment alternative for fibroid uterus in patients with high surgical risks who have failed medical therapy. Patients can have satisfactory symptom relief, despite suboptimal NPVR and fibroid shrinkage, without the need for a major surgery.
Discussion: Severe Haemorrhagic rupture of leiomyomas is a rare but serious complication requiring urgent and appropriate management which ideally allows the uterus to be preserved in young women.
