What is UFE?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (or UFE for short) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure performed by an Interventional Radiologist to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids. During UFE, a tiny catheter is advanced into the uterine arteries and microscopic particles are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to improve. Clinical studies report that most women experience significant relief of heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, and pain after UFE, with high rates of overall satisfaction and long-term symptom control.
