Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To document a case of retained calcified fibroid fragments after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for fibroids.

DESIGN:

Case report.

SETTING:

Teaching district general hospital.

PATIENT(S):

A woman with past history of UAE for fibroids.

INTERVENTION(S):

Bilateral UAE.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):

Retained calcified fibroid fragments.

RESULT(S):

Retained calcified fibroid fragments can occur after UAE.

CONCLUSION(S):

Retained calcified fibroid fragments can occur after UAE and may be associated with infertility and menstrual disorders. Measures to detect this complication in women with these problems who have undergone UAE are appropriate.
