Over the past decade, uterine artery embolization (UAE) has become a popular alternative treatment for women with symptomatic fibroids who desire uterine preservation and/or the avoidance of surgical intervention. In this article, the history of UAE, preprocedure patient evaluation and patient selection, procedure technique, and expected UAE outcomes are reviewed.Entities:
