Abstract
Introduction: The burden of uterine fibroids in sub-Saharan Africa is substantial with up to 80% of black women harboring them in their lifetime. With few treatment options currently available in the region, this study explores the potential role of uterine artery embolization (UAE) as an alternative to surgery.
