In 1998 we were the first to offer uterine artery
embolization (UAE) in Kanagawa Japan. Since then, we have treated more
than 1700 patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids, which is more than any
institution in Japan.
The key to our
success has been our team between a interventional radiologist and gynecologists. We have
achieved excellent technical success (>99%) as well as clinical success
(>95%) with a low complication rate (<1%).
The outcome of our procedures
has compared favorably to others. In these years we have comfirmed UAE is highly
effective not only uterine fibroids but also uterine adenomyosis.
We have treated more than 80 patients with symptomatic uterine adenomyosis,
confermed 3-years symptoms control is 84%.
Fibroids are also
called myomas or leiomyomas ,benign (non-cancerous) growths of muscle tissue on or inside the
uterus. Uterine artery embolization shrinks a fibroid by cutting off its blood
supply. The procedure is done through a catheter placed into a blood vessel through a small incision.
The procedure takes about
30minutes in UAE Center - Hayama Heart Center
