Uterine Artery Embolization for Symptomatic Adenomyosis: 7-Year Clinical Follow-up Using UFS-Qol Questionnaire.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical outcomes 7 years after uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of symptomatic adenomyosis.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective cohort study, one specialized hospital in the Netherlands recruited patients with symptomatic adenomyosis or adenomyosis in combination with fibroids for UAE. The 7-year post-intervention outcomes were health-related quality of life (HRQOL), symptom severity scores (SSS), satisfaction, menopause and re-interventions.

Limited uterine artery embolization for leiomyomas with tris-acryl gelatin microspheres: 1-year follow-up.

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) using large calibrated tris-acryl gelatin microspheres.

Materials And Methods: One hundred fifty-eight women with symptomatic uterine fibroids underwent UAE. Embosphere was used in 105 women and Embogold microspheres in 53 women.

Mid-term clinical results and patient satisfaction after uterine artery embolization in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Purpose: To evaluate the mid-term clinical results and patient satisfaction following uterine artery embolization (UAE) in women with symptomatic fibroids.

Methods: Between August 1998 and December 2002, 135 patients had UAE for symptomatic uterine fibroids. All patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire.

The responses to repeated vibroacoustic stimulation in a fetus with trisomy 18.

Observation of the fetal movement and fetal heart rate responses to repeated vibroacoustic stimulation might be useful as a measure to assess fetal well-being. Studies of abnormal fetuses are needed to gain insight in the spectrum of possible responses to stimulation. We present a case of a fetus with trisomy 18 that failed to respond to repeated stimulation.
