Why Choose Premier Vascular & Interventional for Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Treatment
Comprehensive Clinic Visit
Your gynecologist or primary care may be the first to identify and diagnose symptomatic uterine fibroids
on pelvic examination and/or ultrasound prompting a referral to our vascular specialist. Following a
complete clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing patients are presented with treatment options which
typically include conservative management, surgery, or uterine fibroid embolization. Treatment plans
are tailored to your specific needs following a detailed review of imaging, labs, and medical history
allowing for optimal treatment outcomes.
Flexible Scheduling Options
We offer locations throughout Palm Beach County facilitating accessibility, with a top tier team accommodating to your busy schedule. Our state-of-the-art outpatient surgical facilities are open 5 days a week allowing for prompt and convenient scheduling.
Minimally Invasive Outpatient Procedure Options
Uterine fibroid embolization is performed on an outpatient basis at our fully equipped surgery centers.
Uterine fibroid embolization is performed through a small needle access through left wrist or groin
where a small catheter is threaded and advanced to the artery supplying the fibroids. Once the catheter
is in place, tiny particles injected into the arteries supplying the fibroids block blood supply. Following a
reduction in blood flow be fibroids decrease in size and eventually die. The entire procedure typically
lasts less than 1 hour.
Post Uterine Fibroid Embolization Expectations
Immediately after your embolization procedure it is expected to experience cramping/discomfort,
nausea, and occasional vomiting which is managed during your postprocedural recovery by our
experienced team. You will be discharged from our facility with medications to continue to manage
post-procedure symptoms which consist primarily of abdominal cramping and malaise for a few days.
We recommend to allow at least 5 days for recovery to base-line activity. Should any questions or
concerns arise, patients are provided 24/7 accessibility and direct contact with our specialists.
Benefits of Uterine Fibroid Embolization Treatment

Historically treatment involved surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) or surgical removal of fibroids (myomectomy) which require general anesthesia, lengthy recovery times, and significant risk of surgical complications. UFE offers a minimally invasive option to successfully treat fibroids without the downsides of surgery while preserving your uterus.

Uterine fibroid embolization is performed in outpatient setting, safely and effectively with a 90% success rate of improving fibroid symptoms. Patient are discharged the same day of the procedure and allowed to recover in the comfort of their home. Majority of women resume normal activities within 5 - 10 days.
Relief From Pain & Discomfort of Fibroids
Uterine fibroid embolization has been shown to be highly effective in treating symptomatic uterine fibroids. Symptomatic relief is typically seen during the subsequent months with the final procedure result seen at approximately 3 months after embolization.
