title: [Percutaneous embolization with spirals in bleeding uterine cancer].
abstract: Percutaneous transcatheter embolization (PTE) in patients with life threatening bleeding carcinomas of the uterine cervix using stainless steel coils, proves to be an effective treating method. There is a low incidence of complications concerning the local cutis, nerves or arteries. PTE does not allow a causal therapy of the malignant disease, but in half of our patients (n = 13) embolization was the precondition for initial or further adequate therapeutic management.
