METHOD FOR SELECTIVE CATHETERISATION AND EMBOLISATION OF UMBILICAL ARTERIES FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH UTERINE FIBROID OR UTERINE BLEEDING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61M5/00 A61B17/12 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: endovascular embolisation of the uterine arteries are approached through a radial artery. Khair diagnostic catheter is inserted at the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta. Khair catheter tip is rotated to the right to provides sequential catheterisation of the right internal iliac and uterine arteries. That is followed by embolisation of the right uterine artery. Thereafter, Khair diagnostic catheter is pulled back up to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta, and its tip is rotated to the left. That is followed by sequential catheterisation of the left internal iliac and uterine arteries. That is followed by embolisation of the left uterine artery. Khair diagnostic catheter and introducer are removed, and haemostasis is performed.

EFFECT: method enables reducing the length of the procedure, a radiation-absorbed dose and a rate of the following complications; it promotes early mobilisation of the patient after the procedure.
