title: Effect of the copper-intrauterine device (TCu 380A) on subendometrial microvascularization and uterine artery blood flow.
abstract: During this cohort study, the copper-intrauterine device (IUD) did not modify subendometrial microvascularization. However, subendometrial blood flow increased in patients who experienced IUD-induced side effects.
