The validity of uterine artery embolisation (UAE ) as an alternative treatment for hysterectomy to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids has been well established. Despite its favourable outcomes, UAE is still only marginally applied in the Netherlands. The aim of this inventory is to identify factors which either restrict or facilitate the implementation of UAE. Gynaecologists and interventional-...

Uterine artery embolisation (UAE) is a relative newcomer to the mainstream treatment modalities available for fibroid-related problems. The efficacy of UAE is indisputable and has been shown to be comparable to hysterectomy in the short term in large-scale trials. Moreover, compared with hysterectomy, UAE is less invasive, carries a superior risk profile, and, importantly, preserves the uterus....

A subclinical elevation in urinary albumin excretion (UAE) microalbuminuria is frequently seen in essential hypertension. The level of blood pressure appears to be an important factor in the development of microalbuminuria. Moreover there is some evidence to indicate that microalbuminuria may be an early marker of increased cardiovascular risk. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence o...

Because urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is a marker of cardiovascular (CV) risk, some have proposed screening the general population; however, it is unknown how the predictive power of a single screening value changes over time. In this study, data of 8496 individuals in a community-based, prospective cohort were used to evaluate this question. For each doubling of baseline UAE, the hazard rati...

Objective. To investigate the indication and limitations of uterine artery embolization (UAE), we retrospectively analyzed the case of patients with uterine leiomyomas who had undergone UAE. Methods. During the past 7 years, 25 patients with uterine leiomyomas had undergone UAE in our hospital. UAE was indicated in patients with menstrual disturbances such as hypermenorrhea or dysmenorrhea. The...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the individual impact of initial responses in urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) to angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) treatment on long-term renal outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a post hoc analysis of the Irbesartan in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Microalbum...

This study aimed to determine the rate of repeat uterine artery embolization (UAE) in women with a previous UAE. Study data were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Claims Database of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service for 2009-2013. We enrolled women who had a first delivery in 2009 and a second delivery between 2010 and 2013. Among 226,408 women who had a first ...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of uterine artery embolization (UAE) combined with intra-arterial methotrexate (MTX) infusion for the treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), compared with systemic MTX injection combined with uterine curettage. Study design: A retrospective cohort study. An analysis of CSP patients was performed using records fro...
