@entity1 @entity281 @entity1744 @entity2909
OBJECTIVE: Document major complications following treatment of @entity2909 (UAE). DESIGN: Two case reports. SETTING: University medical center. @entity1 : Two @entity1 with symptomatic fibroid uteri. INTERVENTION(S): Selective bilateral uterine artery embolization. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Complications attributable to UAE. RESULT(S): Two @entity1 experienced significant morbidity requiring hysterectomy due to @entity281 and/or @entity1744 resulting from UAE. CONCLUSION(S): Reports of the management of symptoms related to @entity2909 with UAE infrequently include adverse outcomes and/or complications. The two cases we managed reinforce that UAE is not free of the risk of life-threatening complications that require emergency hysterectomy. Increasing surveillance for complications may help define the selection criteria that decrease the risks of UAE.
