You should not have this procedure if you are pregnant. Uterine artery embolization is not intended for
women who desire future pregnancy. The effects of embolization of the uterine artery on the ability to become
pregnant and carry a fetus to term, and on the development of the fetus, have
not been determined.
While there are reports of women becoming pregnant after
uterine artery embolization, also known as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE),
and having successful pregnancies, there are no scientific study results
establishing the safety of UFE on fertility and pregnancy. As with any medical
intervention, you should discuss the most current clinical data before deciding
on the fibroid treatment option that is right for you.
