Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

UFE is a less invasive technique that blocks the flow of blood to fibroids, typically performed by injecting embolizing (blocking) particles into the uterine artery, causing the fibroid to shrink or subside. Boston Scientific has developed products designed to support this less-invasive treatment for UFE that, for some patients, will offer an alternative to surgery.
