Uterine-enhanced myometrial vascularity: minimal-invasive management with uterine artery embolisation

Abstract

Uterine-enhanced myometrial vascularity (EMV) is a rare complication following abortion/medical termination of pregnancy or postuterine instrumentation, which can lead to severe anaemia and could even be life-threatening in some cases. Several invasive surgical treatment methods are available for management. Recently, minimally invasive embolisation of uterine arteries has been emerging as an effective alternative management method with promising results. In this case report, we aim to describe a case of uterine EMV in a young female presenting with bleeding, which was successfully managed with uterine artery embolisation.
