PROGRAM

WOMEN'S HEALTH
"Less Invasive Procedure Replaces Fibroid Surgery"

  • Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a safe, effective, minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy, and recent studies have found that it may allow previously infertile (due to fibroids) women to give birth.

    "Minimally Invasive Procedure Successfully Treats Painful Varicose Veins in the Pelvic Region"

  • Chronic pelvic pain affects up to 15 percent of women, most between ages 20 and 50. An often overlooked cause of this pain is ovarian vein reflux (pelvic congestion syndrome). While this condition is treatable, many tests don't detect it, and women are left to believe "it's all in their head."

    VASCULAR DISEASE
    "Brain Aneurysms Successfully Treated Without Open Surgery"

  • Brain aneurysms affect 2 5 percent of the U.S. population. Half of ruptured aneurysms result in death, and a quarter more result in stroke or neurological deficit. Radiologists are now using a nonsurgical procedure called detachable coil embolization to isolate and fill weakened cerebral blood vessels that are in danger of rupturing.

    "Endografts Help Prevent Deaths from Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms"

  • Every year, roughly 3 9 percent of Americans between the ages of 60 and 70 suffer an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Large aneurysms are prone to rupture. Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms are the 13th leading cause of death in the U
