OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of two alternative treatment options for uterine fibroids, ulipristal acetate (UPA) and uterine artery embolization (UAE), on fibroid volume and vascularity at 3-month follow-up. METHODS Premenopausal patients with symptomatic, intramural uterine fibroids were included in this prospective case-control study. Seventeen patients who qualified for preoperative UP...

fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus during female reproductive age. uterine artery embolization (uae) using embolic particles (pva, gelfoam) to occlude the uterine arteries, have been reported as a relatively safe, effective, and durable nonsurgical alternative to hysterectomy in diminishing fibroid-related symptoms. to block the arterial blood supply to the fibroid complet...
