Abstract
- A case of Cessation of massive vaginal bleeding after TAE in giant Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) of the Uterus. A 68-year old woman who had massive vaginal bleeding was diagnosed of AVM of uterus by ultrasonogram, CT, MRI, and angiography. In our case report, we tried transarterial embolization 2 times by spring coils and detachable balloons. She was treated successfully by TAE resulting in prompt cessation of life- threatened vaginal bleeding. Color and duplex doppler US is an appropriate modality for the detection and diagnosis of uterine AVMs and for follow-up after embolization. Transarterial embolization is a safe and effective method of treating this disease.
