Successful pregnancy with a full-term vaginal delivery one year after n-butyl cyanoacrylate embolization of a uterine arteriovenous malformation.
Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) causes significant morbidity with vaginal bleeding. Traditional therapy is a hysterectomy with no potential for future pregnancy. We present a case of successful superselective embolization of uterine AVM using n-butyl cyanoacrylate with subsequent normal term pregnancy and uncomplicated vaginal delivery in 1 year.
