OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of a new spherical particle of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate (PVA-PVAc) for uterine artery embolization in patients with myoma with surgical indication. METHODS twelve patients underwent uterine myoma embolization with PVA-PVAc particles. Three to nine months later, they were submitted to laparotomy with myomectomy. We analyzed the following parameters:...

Violation of the extracellular matrix components synthesis regulation contributes to formation and growth uterine fbroids (MM). Changes collagen metabolism in connective tissue may be associated with polymorphism metalloproteinase (MMP) genes. Aim study was analyze association regulatory regions genes MMP2 (rs243865), MMP3 (rs3025058), MMP9 (rs3918242) development myoma, its histological form, ...
