Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Small particles of an inert substance called PVA are then injected through the catheter into the arteries that supply the fibroids, the fibroids are thus deprived of their blood supply and die off, eventually being converted into balls of scar tissue. The material used is entirely harmless and has been used for many decades for embolisations in fibroids and in many other areas of the body for other conditions.
