Abstract

Purpose: Evaluating the initial effect of fibroid embolization procedure with embozene microspheres at Bach Mai radiology department.
Methods and objectives: Follow - up study from January 2015 to February 2016, we treated 41 patients who manifest symptom clinically (mean ± SD age 37.3 ± 5.7 years, range 24-47 years). Assessing including: clinical symptom, volume of fibroid after treatment 1 month, 3 months, 6 months by ultrasound and magenic resonance imaging after 6 months.
Results: The mean tumor volume 65.6 ± 5. 8 ml (range 1.7-353). A total of 51 tumors of 41 patients were carried out intervention, a technical success rate of 100%. Post intervention 54% patients were painless, the mean pain time 1.2 ± 0.7 day. There are no main complication. After 6 months, 96.1% patients stopped hypermenorrhea, 94.4% patients disappeared abdominal pain. Quality of life index improved 3.8 point. The tumor volume decrease 19.6% after 1 month, 53.3% after 3 months, 80.1% after 6 months (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Embozene microspheres is a potentially chosen material inuterine artery embolization because of its safe and effective procedure.
