The procedure and its risks, benefits, and alternatives were
discussed with the patient. Verbal and written consent was
obtained.
A time-out was performed to confirm the correct patient, correct
site, and correct procedure.

Contrast injection showed abnormal vascularity consistent with
uterine fibroids.
Variant anatomy / unexpected findings / additional
procedure(s)
Significant ovarian arterial supply was identified
Treated with distal ovarian artery embolization
Could not be treated and will be evaluated carefully with subsequent
clinical/MRI follow-up and re-intervention will be considered
Utero-ovarian anastomosis was noted
Treated with coil embolization
Could not be treated and requires careful follow-up with monitoring
of ovarian function
Round ligament artery (arising from inferior epigastric artery) was
recognized as a variant feeding the right/left-sided fibroid(s) and was treated with
embolization
Common genitourinary artery trunk was present and precluded uterine
artery embolization/but still allowed for successful uterine artery
embolization.
Allowed for successful uterine artery embolization
Precluded uterine artery embolization
Multiple small uterine arteries were present and precluded uterine
artery embolization/were each catheterized and embolized.
Were each catheterized and embolized
Precluded uterine artery embolization
Uterine artery replaced to ovarian artery
Necessitated distal ovarian artery catheterization and
embolization
Precluded uterine artery embolization
Lumbar artery fibroid supply
Necessitated distal lumbar artery catheterization and
embolization
Successful bilateral uterine artery embolization resulting in complete
fibroid devascularization.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and left the interventional
suite in stable condition.
The patient left the interventional suite in unstable/guarded
condition.
