A catheter is inserted near the groin through a single puncture and navigated to the uterine arteries.

Embolic particles are injected into the fibroids to block blood flow through the vessels that feed them.

The fibroid starves and shrinks without its primary blood supply. Symptoms are relieved as the fibroid shrinks.

When it comes to fibroid treatment, you really have three viable treatment options:
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization – minimally invasive devices are used to block blood flow to fibroids, causing the fibroids to shrink
- Hysterectomy – the uterus is surgically removed, removing the fibroids along with it
- Myomectomy – fibroids are surgically cut from the uterus
