ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction:
Introduction: Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is one of the rare conditions in gynecology. Conservative management such as uterine artery embolization can be tried to preserve the uterus. We have successfully treated a patient with recurrent uterine arteriovenous malformation with three times of uterine artery embolization.
Case Report: A 35-year-old female presented with heavy vaginal bleeding. Uterine arteriovenous malformation was suspected by Doppler ultrasonography and it was confirmed with angiography. The first uterine artery embolization procedure was performed using polyvinyl alcohol but it recurred after one year and another recurrence after three years. Finally she was successfully treated with third uterine artery embolization. Otherwise, patient remained asymptomatic and keen for pregnancy. Conclusion: Uterine Artery embolization is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent uterine arteriovenous malformation. | |
