Abstract
Interventional radiology has become a well established sub-specialty in the clinical practice of modern medicine extending to all fields over relatively a short period of time.(Burn et al,1999).
For some patients major surgery is a high risk procedure so that interventional radiology provides an alternative tool to invasive therapeutic surgical procedure .Nowadays however interventional radiology is widely accepted as a distinct line of treatment for many diseases providing that being a less invasive procedure.(Kirch et al;1998).
Trough the development of new procedure &refinement of the standard techniques the interventional radiologist can now offer many services to the obstetrician-gynecologist with a substantial attention has been given recently to the non surgical treatment of uterine fibroids by uterine artery embolization.(Thomas et al,2000).
Uterine artery embolization was first introduced in the 1970s to treat post partum hemorrhage.In1990s this techniques was successfully used during 3rd to 10th days before the surgical phase.(Ravina et al, 1997).
Ravina et al proposed embolization of uterine arteries as an alternative to surgical treatment of uterine leiomyomas. Recent reports indicate that the procedure is a safe &successful method for treatment of bleeding, bulk symptoms &pelvic pain caused by fibroid uterus.(Burn et al,1999)
