Zusammenfassung

Die Embolisation der Arteria uterina wird als komplikationsarme, erfolgreiche Behandlung des Uterus myomatosus gewertet. Bisher sind nur wenige schwere Komplikationen bei geschätzt über 10 000 weltweit durchgeführten Embolisationen publiziert worden. Es wird von einem Fall mit Abszessbildung in einem nekrotischen Myom nach Myomembolisation mit konsekutiver Pelviperitonitis berichtet.

Abstract

Uterine artery embolisation represents a promising new method for treating uterine fibroids with few and minor complications. Serious complications after UAE are rarely observed. In most patients symptoms are improved and fibroid volume is reduced by approximately 50 - 80 %. We report° an infection of necrotic uterine fibroid after embolisation of uterine leiomyomata requiring hysterectomy.

Schlüsselwörter
