Severe metrorrhagia in patients with advanced gynecologic cancer: endovascular treatment benefits in acute and chronic setting

ConclusionsEndovascular treatment of metrorrhagia in oncologic patients could be a valid therapeutic alternative, especially when in elderly patients with poor clinical conditions not suitable for surgery. A bilateral and superselective embolization using non-resorbable embolic agents should be performed, except for those cases in which there is infiltration of major vessels causing pseudoaneurysms or fistulas that require embolization.
