BACKGROUND. Ovarian cystectomy is the standard treatment of endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comp…
Background/Objectives: The treatment options for endometriosis vary depending on individual needs and clinical circumstances. To preserve ovarian reserve, ethanol catheter-directed sclerotherapy may be considered as a treatment option. We c…
PURPOSE: To identify factors associated with postprocedural necrosis after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for pure adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included patients who underwent UAE for pure symptomatic adenomyosis betwe…
PURPOSE: To identify factors related to technical outcomes of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) and suggest selection criteria for CDS in patients with ovarian endometrioma. METHOD: This retrospective study included patients with endom…
OBJECTIVE: Catheter-directed ethanol sclerotherapy (CDS) is known to less affect the ovarian function, with comparable efficacy. This study aims to investigate the change in ovarian reserve after catheter-directed ethanol sclerotherapy in p…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of catheter-directed ethanol sclerotherapy (CDS) and its effect on ovarian reserve in patients with endometrioma at risk of decreased ovarian reserve. DESIGN: Retrospective study. S…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacies of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) with 99% ethanol and surgery for ovarian endometrioma and their impact on the ovarian reserve. METHODS: From January 2011 to June 2019, 71 patients who underwen…
PURPOSE: To evaluate safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for pedunculated subserosal (PS) leiomyomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of 1,069 patients who underwent UAE for symptomatic leiomyomas or adenomyosis from 2007 to 20…
PURPOSE: Imaging features and clinical characteristics of degenerated leiomyoma in patients referred for uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) were analyzed to assess the incidence of degenerated leiomyoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients ref…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for treating symptomatic fibroids with high signal intensity (SI) on magnetic resonance (MR) T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 537 ca…
