Abstract |
Uterine arteriovenous malformations [AVMs] are rare cause of massive vaginal bleeding. In the past, hysterectomy had been the only method of diagnosis and treatment. With advent of many imaging modalities, noninvasive diagnosis of AVMs is possible and the transcatheter embolization has been accepted as a treatment of choice. We describe a case of uterine AVM presented with intractable vaginal bleeding and successful transcatheter embolization with coils and glue. |
