Can you tell me a little about uterine fibroid embolization to treat uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) has actually been around for many years, but unfortunately, many people have still not heard about it. UFE is a minimally-invasive, low risk alternative to surgery (hysterectomy or myomectomy). Unlike surgery, this procedure requires minimal or no hospital stay and a shorter recovery time. There is also a lower complication rate and blood loss compared to surgery. Plus, your uterus is preserved. In this procedure, blood supply to the fibroid tumors is blocked, making them shrink. During a UFE, a thin tube called a catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the leg or wrist and guided by fluoroscopic (X-ray) images to the blood vessels that supply the fibroids of the uterus. Tiny particles are then injected to stop blood flow to the fibroids. Most patients go home the same day or the following day with expected pelvic cramping and pain, which is managed with medication. Many women resume light activity within 2-5 days and regular activity within a week. The procedure itself is relatively straight forward and usually takes about an hour. Patients then return home while the fibroids gradually shrink over the next few months. Approximately 9 out of 10 patients who undergo uterine fibroid embolization will experience significant improvement or their symptoms will go away completely. As mentioned, this is a low-risk procedure. However, risks do include, but are not limited to, access site hemorrhage/hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, infection, arterial injury, contrast allergy, nontarget embolization, myometrial injury, ovarian failure, fibroid passage, ileus, and postembolization syndrome (fever, pain, nausea, vomiting, malaise). Most individuals who undergo the procedure have a dramatic improvement in their symptoms and a decrease in size of their uterine fibroids. If menstruation has been heavy, it will usually return to a more normal flow after UFE. Other symptoms from bulky uterine fibroids will also improve, such as pelvic pressure, bloating, urinary frequency, and constipation. READ MORE
Length of DVT dissolve
It does not take long for an acute DVT to become chronic. After only 1 month, over 80% of a DVT converts to collagen, which is a fibrous material that will begin to scar into the vein. Ultimately, this could lead to PTS. Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic condition characterized by leg swelling, pain, edema, venous ectasia, and skin induration. Studies have shown that it usually manifests itself within the first 2 years after an episode of DVT. Treatment is available, with may include a minimally invasive thrombectomy procedure, angioplasty, and/or stent placement. READ MORE

Interventional radiology is a medical specialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance, such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. Interventional radiologists diagnose and treat disease. They treat a wide range of conditions in the body by inserting various small tools, such as catheters or wires from outside the body. X-ray and imaging techniques such as CT and ultrasound help guide the radiologist.
Diagnostic radiology is a medical specialization that involves undertaking a range of imaging procedures to obtain images of the inside of the body. Diagnostic radiologists use a variety of imaging procedures to see inside the body and assess or diagnose the patient’s condition.
