All sizes of fibroids have been successfully embolized. The shrinkage will be felt more in fibroids smaller than a 5 - month sized pregnancy. The embolization process affects all fibroids within the uterus wherever they are located.
Nothing is experimental about the procedure.
Our team has performed embolization to control heavy bleeding associated with fibroids since November, 1994. We have treated approximately 700 women. Worldwide, embolization for control of heavy vaginal bleeding associated with fibroids has been performed on an estimated 25,000 women, and more are being done every day. Women have conceived after embolization. In fact we know of no patient who could become pregnant before embolization who could not after this procedure.
