Uterine artery embolization is a recent technique intended for treating uterine fibroids, as an alternative to hysterectomy. The possible side effects putting at stake the prognosis of fertility after embolization are considered as a brake to its use for the treatment of infertility associated with myoma. Secondary hysterectomy and permanent amenorrhea are the two main risks. But they are not so frequent and can be prevented. To date, the experience in the field of fertility and pregnancy after arterial embolization for fibroids is quite limited. However, first results are encouraging and not very different from those observed after surgical myomectomy. A therapeutic trial using arterial embolization for the management of fibroids within a context of infertility can be devised in the presence of submucosal or intramural myomas responsible for metromenorrhagia and with no major infertility factors associated. It is likely that uterine artery embolization should provide results equivalent or superior to those of surgical myomectomy in case of numerous and intramural fibroids with no prevailing myoma. Arterial embolization could be also interesting in case of recurrent myoma after laparotomic myomectomy.
