Uterine Fibroid Embolization (or Uterine Artery Embolization) is non-surgical treatment option that provides relief from fibroids without the risks of an invasive surgery. UFE offers many benefits to patients seeking alternatives to a hysterectomy or myomectomy. The procedure involves interventional radiologists using imaging to guide a catheter through a small incision in groin (femoral artery) or the wrist (radial artery) to the artery feeding the fibroid and blocks the uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroid.
