UFE: A Non-Surgical Alternative

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure in which an interventional radiologist inserts a small catheter into an artery and advances it to the location of the targeted area. Small particles are then injected to block blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink. UFE is considered a safe and highly effective non-surgical treatment option for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.
