Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to compare pain after uterine artery embolization using non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol particles or tris-acryl gelatin microsphere in patients with symptomatic fibroids

Detailed description

Uterine artery embolization(UAE) is a minimally invasive treatment alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy in symptomatic fibroids. However, post-procedural pain after UAE remains a major problem. The non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol particle and tri-acryl gelatin microsphere are two embolic materials used for UAE.Therefore, the aim of study is to compare pain intensity and inflammation after uterine artery embolization using non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol particles or tris-acryl gelatin microsphere in patients with symptomatic fibroids

Conditions

• Leiomyoma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol particle or Tris-acryl gelatin microsphere	One of non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol particle or tris-acryl gelatin microsphere is used for embolic materials. All other processes are same.
