Uterine artery embolization can be performed in young women who still wish to become pregnant, according to a study in Fertility and Sterility.

Eleven pregnancies, eight of which were live births, occurred in 10 women. Three cases ended in early miscarriages. None of the eight newborns had low birth-weight and there were no cases of abnormal placental implantation, according to the researchers. The investigators embolized uterine arteries using 500 to 1200 µm trisacryl gelatin microspheres.
