Is UFE an experimental procedure?
Uterine artery embolization has been performed for over twenty years to treat emergency bleeding. Uterine fibroid embolization as a treatment for fibroids has been performed on almost 20,000 patients in the USA. UFE is now a commonly performed procedure throughout the United States and is no longer considered experimental. The Interventional Radiologists at the Fibroid Center have been performing UFE since 1998.
