Abstract

Heavy uterine bleeding caused by anteriovenous malformation is rare but can be life-threatening. All three subjects from the case studies below experienced several episodes of massive bleeding. However, there were no signs of ordinary causes leading to such bleeding. Ultrasound 2D and colour doppler detected abnormal uterine vessels. Two cases were successfully treated by transcatheter embolization (TCE) while hysterectomy was used in the other case. Conclusions: TCE is a useful method to treat AVM and preserve fertility.
