IBADAHUN SUCHIANG Dr. December 2018 7 12 01 02 ABSTRACT

 Background: – Uterinearteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare cause of abnormal uterine bleeding.AVMs can be defined as a vascular structural anomaly involving abnormal communication between arteries and veins that bypass the capillary system. Uterine arteiovenous malformation demands surgicalmanagement andhysterectomy due to its notoriouspresentation. Selective uterine arteryembolization is a modern minimalinvasive technique to treat patient conservatively leading to a promising outcome.


Materials and methods: –All patients of congenital and acquired cases of uterine AV malformation were

included in our study.Their demographic data,clinical presentation and treatment procedures were

vividly recordedand followed upfor two years.

 

Result: –From April2015 toMarch 2017 we included total seven patients. Theywere managed firstly by medical then surgical method, if necessary. Selective bilateral uterine artery embolisation showed good fertility preserving method.

Conclusion: –Selective uterine artery embolisation is a newer conservative approach towards challenging AVM as a preferable method in childbearing age group
