Abstract

We present a case of 22 years old female who presented with irregular PV bleeding and menorrhagia for 6 months and was diagnosed as uterine AVM by coloured Doppler, MRI and CTA. Embolization of uterine AVM was then decided and she received successful super selective TAE with lipiodol and coils (micro coils and tornado coils). There were no complications during and after the procedure. The patient conceived spontaneously after the procedure and delivered a healthy baby later on.
