Uterine Arteries: Bilateral Catheterization with a Single Femoral Approach and a Single 5-F Catheter— Technical Note

1 Department of Body and Vascular Imaging, Hôpital Lariboisière, AP-HP, 2 rue Ambroise Paré, 75475 Paris 10, France.

In 197 patients, uterine embolization with a single femoral approach and a single 5-F cobra catheter was successful in 362 of 394 (92%) uterine arteries. In six patients (12 arteries), distal embolization with a coaxial 3-F microcatheter was safer. In 10 patients with a life-threatening condition, embolization was performed at the anterior division of both internal iliac arteries. Bilateral selective embolization of the uterine arteries can be performed with a single catheter.
