Long-term durability of uterine artery embolisation for treatment of symptomatic adenomyosis.

ABSTRACT:

Failing conservative therapies, uterine artery embolisation (UAE) has been proposed as a uterine-sparing option for treatment of symptomatic adenomyosis. UAE appears effective at short-term; however long-term durability is less well established.
