Uterine Fibroid Embolization at RIA Endovascular

Uterine fibroids are a common yet often misunderstood health issue that can significantly disrupt a woman’s quality of life. Symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and even fertility challenges can stem from fibroids—noncancerous growths of the uterus that affect up to 70% of women by age 50.

At RIA Endovascular, we offer a non-surgical, highly effective alternative to hysterectomy or myomectomy called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). This minimally invasive treatment is performed by our expert interventional radiologists, including Dr. Pete Stratil and Dr. Will Grande, who specialize in image-guided procedures that target the root cause without the need for major surgery.

What Is UFE?

Uterine Fibroid Embolization works by cutting off the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to improve. Using imaging guidance, a tiny catheter is inserted into the uterine arteries, and microscopic particles are delivered directly to the fibroids. Most patients go home the same day and recover quickly with minimal downtime.
