Zusammenfassung
Ziele: To test whether the duration of post-interventional pain, recovery and return to normal life correlates to the overall leiomyoma volume before uterine artery embolization. Methode: The study was performed on 33 females (mean age: 46.3 year±4.8, Range: 38–56) to whom successful bilateral UAE was done. All UAE interventions were performed by a single interventionist. The pre-embolization overall leiomyoma volume was calculated by adding the volumes of the individual leiomyomas in each patient using the formula for ellipsoid lesions (L X W X H X 0.523). Measurements were performed using contrast enhanced MRI…
