Abstract
In 197 patients, uterine embolization with a single femoral approach and a single 5-F cobra catheter was successful in 362 of 394 (92%) uterine arteri es. In six patients (12 arteries), distal embolization with a coaxial 3-F m icrocatheter was safer. In 10 patients with a life-threatening condition, e mbolization was performed at the anterior division of both internal iliac a rteries. Bilateral selective embolization of the uterine arteries can be pe rformed with a single catheter.
