METHOD FOR TRANSRADIAL ENDOVASCULAR EMBOLISATION OF UTERINE ARTERIES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/00 A61M25/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: right and left radial arteries are punctured. The Jadkins right 6F guiding catheter 110 cm long is inserted through a sheath into the descending aorta below the origin of the renal artery mouth. The No-taper angle 4F angiographic catheter 150 cm long is inserted through the sheath via a lumen of the guiding catheter. The angiographic hydrophilic sheath is inserted through the catheter funnel into the distal uterine artery; that is followed by inserting the catheter into the uterine artery and performing the embolisation of the uterine artery through the catheter funnel. Similarly, embolisation is performed on the counterlateral side. In a specific case, the J-ended angiographic hydrophilic sheath 0.018 and 0.035 inches in diameter are used, whereas Biosphere Medical 300-500 mic is used as embolising particles.

EFFECT: using the invention provides the early activation of the patient, prevention of the target arteriospasm, no risk of complications of the transfemoral approach, such as retroperitoneal haematoma, false aneurism, and arteriovenous fistula.
