子宫动脉栓塞术(UAE)是血管性介入治疗技术的一种,通过阻断子宫的主要供血动脉—子宫动脉,使肌瘤组织坏死、溶解、吸收。肌瘤在介入治疗后在病理上表现为变性、坏死、吸收;临床上表现为肌瘤的缩小和(或)消失。子宫肌瘤为双层供血血管网,一层存在于子宫肌瘤的表面形成粗大的血管网,另一层存在于子宫肌瘤内部形成致密的毛细血管网。严格掌握适应证,根据血管网的分布,合理选择使用栓塞剂是治疗成功的关键。临床总结UAE治疗子宫肌瘤有效率90%以上,是一项全新、微创、有效的治疗方法。 Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a kind of vascular interventional therapy, by blocking the uterine artery - uterine artery, the fibroid tissue necrosis, dissolution, absorption. Fibroids in the interventional treatment of pathological manifestations of degeneration, necrosis, absorption; clinical manifestations of fibroids shrink and (or disappear. Uterine fibroids for the two-tier blood supply network, a layer exists in the surface of the uterine fibroids to form a thick vascular network, and the other exists in the formation of dense intra-uterine fibroids capillary network. Strict control of indications, according to the distribution of vascular networks, the rational choice of embolization is the key to the success of treatment. Clinical summary UAE treatment of uterine fibroids more than 90% efficiency, is a new, minimally invasive, effective treatment.
