Abstract
AIM: Our goal was to evaluate risks and complication rate of uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). RESULTS: The most frequent complications reported in the literature are associated with angiography procedure, serious complications are extremely infrequent. CONCLUSION: The embolization of fibroids is a safe angiographic intervention. Nevertheless, the interventional radiologist must be aware of the common risks and complication and the strategies to avoid them.
