case_images: (a) Periprocedural digital subtraction angiography from UAE, showing aorta-iliac bifurcation and left (b) and right (c) uterine arteries before embolization. The procedure was performed on the left with four vials of Embospheres, two of 300-500 microns, one of 500-700 microns, and one of 700-900 microns. On the right, three vials were used, one of 300-500 microns, one of 500-700 microns, and one of 700-900 microns.

case_images: A periprocedural arteriography revealed pervious distal aorta, common, internal, and external iliac arteries, and a giant uterine fibroid with its blood supply coming from both uterine arteries (Figure 1).

case_images: A standard UAE was performed, and the uterine arteries were embolized with 300 to 900 microns until they were completely devascularized (Figure 2).
case_images: (a) Vaginal expulsion of infarcted submucous fibroid 15 days after uterine artery embolization. (b) Specimen measuring approximately 8 cm.

case_images: The complete mass expulsion occurred, at the patient's home, eight days after symptom onset and measured approximately 8 cm (Figure 3).
