Safety and Effectiveness of UFE in Fibroids Larger than 10 cm.

Introduction: Early literature suggested that the size of the uterus, the size of the dominant fibroid, and the amount of applied embolization particles would be the risk factors for major postprocedural complications, but recent publications have confuted these early results. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether the size of the dominant fibroid would influence the complication rate and effectiveness in a large single-center cohort.

Patients And Methods: From 28 April 2008 until 31 December 2012, 303 patients had uterine artery embolization (UAE).
