Frequency and Extent of Uterine Perfusion via Ovarian Arteries Observed During Uterine Artery Embolization for Leiomyomas

Abstract

Based on aortography, the presence of residual fibroid perfusion is more likely if the ovarian arteries are large, have rapid flow, or have flow that extends into the pelvis. Selective ovarian artery evaluation may be indicated in these cases to determine the extent of residual fibroid perfusion.
