Transcatheter arterial embolization in the management of gynecological neoplasms

Six patients were treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Three patients suffered from intractable genital bleeding; the other three patients were preoperative cases of a stage III adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and two of these had gestational trophoblastic disease. Bleeding w...

More Information
Summary:Six patients were treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Three patients suffered from intractable genital bleeding; the other three patients were preoperative cases of a stage III adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and two of these had gestational trophoblastic disease. Bleeding was stopped in all three cases of intractable hemorrhage; one patient rebled after 6 days. In the three preoperative cases, transcatheter arterial embolization was thought to be effective in decreasing intraoperative blood loss. There are no other reports of application of this technique to preoperative cases to decrease intraoperative blood loss in gynecological cases.
