You will receive anesthesia to reduce pain. Then, your doctor will make a small incision in the skin over your femoral artery which is a large blood vessel that passes lengthwise through your groin. Then your doctor will insert catheter inside either the left or the right artery which is feeding the fibroid.
Thereafter, a special X-Ray dye is inserted into the uterine artery and its branches. This makes it visible on the fluoroscope’s monitor which lights up the fibroids. Through this, the vascular specialists in hyderabad identifies the right area of uterine artery and injects the blood vessel with tiny particles made of plastic or gelatin. These particles obstruct the blood flow to the fibroids causing the fibroids to shrink in size. After this procedure is completed on one artery, it will be performed on another artery and the entire procedure takes 1½ hours.
