A Prospective Study Comparing Contour SE™ Microspheres to Embosphere® Microspheres for Treating Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids With Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

Uterine Fibroid Embolization is used in treating Uterine Fibroids. The procedure involves injecting embolization particles into the fibroid via the uterine artery which causes the fibroid to shrink or subside. Patients are usually released from the hospital the day after the procedure.

Polyvinyl alcohol Microsphere embolization devices intended to provide targeted vascular occlusion or reduction of blood flow upon selective placement and are currently marketed for use in hypervascular tumors, including leiomyoma uteri and arteriovenous malformations

Biocompatible, hydrophilic, nonresorbable, microspheres used in the embolization of arteriovenous malformations, hypervascular tumors, and symptomatic uterine fibroids.
