Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore HIFU treatment for uterine arteriovenous malformation. DESIGN: A case report. SETTING: Gynaecological department in a university teaching hospital of China. POPULATION: A patient with uterine arteriovenous malformation. METHODS: The diagnosis of uterine arteriovenous malformation was made through MRI. Ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation was performed. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: HIFU is effective in treating uterine arteriovenous malformation. RESULTS: The patient had reduction of the lesion volume and obvious symptom relief, without significant adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS: HIFU can be used as a new treatment option for uterine arteriovenous malformation. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation is effective in treating uterine arteriovenous malformation.
