During UAE:

• A small catheter is inserted through a tiny incision in the upper thigh/groin.
• Using imaging guidance, the catheter is directed to the arteries that supply blood to the uterus.
• Tiny particles (about the size of grains of sand) or coils are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids.
• Without a blood supply, the fibroids shrink over time, relieving symptoms.

Benefits of UAE

• Minimally invasive: No large incisions or general anesthesia
• Quick recovery: Patients go home within a few hours
• Effective relief: Reduces heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure
• Preserves the uterus: Ideal for women who want to avoid hysterectomy

UAE is performed by our board-certified vascular surgeons and is safe for many women, though not recommended during pregnancy or for those with certain infections or allergies
