Predictive Factors of Pelvic Magnetic Resonance in the Response of Arterial Embolization of Uterine Leiomyoma


This study followed symptomatic premenopausal women with uterine leiomyoma who underwent
uterine artery embolization (UAE). Treatment was accompanied by magnetic resonance imaging
of both the volume of the entire uterus and the leiomyomas one month before and six months
after UAE. This patients were treated at the Uterine Leiomyoma Sector of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medicine College of the University of São Paulo. In this study,
the investigators examined 179 leiomyomas in 50 patients.


Inclusion Criteria:



- ultrasound diagnosis of uterine leiomyoma

- presence of symptoms (menorrhalgia and/or pelvic pain)

- indication for UAE(the desire to keep the uterus and/or contraindications for
surgery).

Exclusion Criteria:

- malignant genital neoplasms

- pelvic inflammatory disease

- allergy to iodinated contrast

- coagulopathy, renal failure

- vasculitis

- pelvic irradiation

- pregnancy

- subserosal leiomyoma with a pedicle smaller than 50% of diameter of the fibroid.

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Leiomyoma reduction in patients who underwent uterine artery embolization

Outcome Description:

Use the magnetic resonanse to evaluate factors that predicted leiomyoma reduction in patients who underwent uterine artery embolization

Outcome Time Frame:

One month before(baseline) and six month after the embolization

Safety Issue:

No
