Abstract

Abstract : Objective: To explore HIFU treatment for uterine arteriovenous malformation. Design: A case report. Setting: Gynaecological department in a university teaching hospital of China. Population: A patient with uterine arteriovenous malformation. Methods: The diagnosis of uterine arteriovenous malformation was made through MRI. Ultrasound‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation was performed. Main outcomes measures: HIFU is effective in treating uterine arteriovenous malformation. Results: The patient had reduction of the lesion volume and obvious symptom relief, without significant adverse effects. Conclusions: HIFU can be used as a new treatment option for uterine arteriovenous malformation. Tweetable abstract: Ultrasound‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound ablation is effective in treating uterine arteriovenous malformation.
