Abstract
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive interventional radiological procedure to occlude the arterial supply to the uterus. UAE has been very useful for controlling hemorrhage following delivery/abortion, in ectopic or cervical pregnancy, gestational trophoblastic disease or carcinoma cervix. Currently it is being mostly used for treating uterine fibroids. It requires a shorter hospital stay with early resumption to normal activity. This review briefly summarizes the role of this relatively new technique in gynecologic practice.
