Abstract

Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation (Uterine AVM) is a rare vascular lesion that can cause severe life-threatening uterine bleeding. There are various treatment methods, including medical therapy, endovascular intervention, and surgery, with selective endovascular intervention being the primary treatment. However, the effectiveness of this method for long-term AVM control remains controversial. We report a case of a 32-year-old female patient with recurrent uterine AVM after three embolization procedures, accompanied by ovarian varices and a pseudoaneurysm, presenting a challenge in diagnosis and treatment.
