Patient satisfaction and disease specific quality of life after uterine artery embolization

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether uterine artery embolization (UAE) could measurably reduce fibroid specific symptom severity and whether symptom changes occurring after UAE could have an impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). It was found that women who undergo UAE had significantly decreased fibroid-specific symptom severity and improved HRQOL, associated with high levels of satisfaction with the procedure, even when subsequent therapies are pursued.
