Abstract

A young woman presenting with recurrent episodes of uterine bleeding due to an extensive uterine arteriovenous malformation was treated with two sessions of uterine artery embolization. Further bleeding was managed with a combination of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate. The patient remains asymptomatic with a significant decrease in uterine and pelvic vascularity at one year follow-up.

These drugs may decrease the need for repeat embolization.
