Die Uterusarterienembolisation (UAE) bei symptomatischer Adenomyosis uteri – eine Therapiealternative zur Hysterektomie?
This study investigated the clinical and MRI outcomes of uterine artery embolization (UAE) as a potential alternative to hysterectomy for symptomatic adenomyosis uteri.

The paper prospectively studied uterine artery embolization (UAE) in 15 patients with isolated symptomatic adenomyosis, assessing clinical symptom control via a questionnaire and MRI outcomes, including uterine volume reduction and changes in the junctional zone width. UAE was successfully performed in all 15/15 cases under local anesthesia with microspheres, with no complications reported during hospitalization or follow-up; during a median 12-month follow-up, 2 patients underwent hysterectomy and 1 had adenomyosis resection due to persistent symptoms. Symptoms such as hypermenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, irregular pain, and pressure complaints showed improvement in subsets and were absent in many patients without reintervention, alongside a median 46% reduction in uterine volume and a junctional zone width decrease in 9/12. Limitations explicitly include the small sample size and the relatively short, mid-term follow-up. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it instead focuses on adenomyosis treated by uterine artery embolization, with symptom and MRI changes reported.
