Abstract
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) has gained traction as a safe and effective treatment modality for symptomatic uterine leiomyomata since its introduction nearly two decades ago. This review includes an overview of current concepts with regard to patient selection, technique, and outcomes following UAE. Specific topics also include the impact of this procedure on fertility and pregnancy, the emerging role of UAE in the treatment of adenomyosis, and how UAE compares with surgical intervention for the treatment of symptomatic leiomyomata.
