Abstract No. 415 Uterine artery embolization for anticoagulant-associated uterine bleeding

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) affects up to two thirds of women on anticoagulation (AC) therapy. In women on AC for venous thromboembolism (VTE), AUB is linked to recurrent VTE, likely due to interrupted therapy. Treatment options for anticoagulant-associated AUB (AA-AUB) are limited, as estrogen-containing treatments increase thrombotic risk and endometrial ablation or hysterectomy lead to infertility. While uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a well-established treatment for symptomatic fibroids, its role in acute AA-AUB is limited to case reports.
