Correia, LSimões, T2014-03-192014-03-192013Acta Obstet Ginecol Port 2013;7(2):146-150http://hdl.handle.net/10400.17/1743Uterine artery embolisation has been used as a therapeutic alternative for symptomatic uterine myomas. It is considered a safe and effective procedure, with very few cases published involving complications. The authors present a case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman with an intramural myoma with 161x143x85mm, submitted to an uterine artery embolisation complicated by uterine necrosis. A hysterectomy was performed. This casereport reinforces the idea that artery embolization is not a riskfree procedure and serious complications may occur. Therefore, patients should be carefully selected.porMAC MED MAFMiomaEmbolização da Artéria Uterinajournal article
