BACKGROUND. Ovarian cystectomy is the standard treatment of endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comp…

PURPOSE: To identify factors associated with postprocedural necrosis after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for pure adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included patients who underwent UAE for pure symptomatic adenomyosis betwe…

PURPOSE: To identify factors related to technical outcomes of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) and suggest selection criteria for CDS in patients with ovarian endometrioma. METHOD: This retrospective study included patients with endom…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacies of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) with 99% ethanol and surgery for ovarian endometrioma and their impact on the ovarian reserve. METHODS: From January 2011 to June 2019, 71 patients who underwen…

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) with 95% ethanol in patients with primary or recurrent ovarian endometriomas. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, 14 participants (mean age, 32 year…

PURPOSE: To evaluate safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for pedunculated subserosal (PS) leiomyomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of 1,069 patients who underwent UAE for symptomatic leiomyomas or adenomyosis from 2007 to 20…

PURPOSE: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic fibroids in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among 900 cases who underwent UAE between 2007 and 2013, a tot…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of degree of necrosis after uterine artery embolization (UAE) on symptom recurrence at midterm clinical follow-up in patients with adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Women (N = 50) who underwent UAE for sym…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the usefulness of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in predicting response to uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic adenomyosis. METHODS: A prospective study was performed on 25 patients who unde…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether uterine artery embolization (UAE) can reduce the premenstrual symptoms in women undergoing UAE for fibroid tumors or adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among 141 women who underwent UAE for symptomatic fibroid…

PURPOSE: Imaging features and clinical characteristics of degenerated leiomyoma in patients referred for uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) were analyzed to assess the incidence of degenerated leiomyoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients ref…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prevalence of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) collaterals to the uterus found during uterine artery embolization (UAE), associated risk factors, and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of 559 wom…

PURPOSE: To assess contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic findings of uterine arteries (UAs) and to evaluate the diagnostic utility of this imaging modality for the prediction of ovarian artery (OA) embolization (OAE). MATE…

OBJECTIVES: To identify imaging predictors for complete necrosis after uterine artery embolisation (UAE) via quantitative measurement of the signal intensity obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a patient with adenomyosis. MET…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for treating symptomatic fibroids with high signal intensity (SI) on magnetic resonance (MR) T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 537 ca…
