Enhanced myometrial vascularity/uterine arteriovenous malformations (EVM/AVM) are a rare cause of vaginal bleeding that can result in life-threatening hemorrhage if left untreated. Enhanced myometrial vascularity/uterine arteriovenous malformations arise from an abnormal connection between arteries and veins without an intervening capillary network and can be acquired as a result of retained products of conception, uterine trauma, or surgical intervention. Enhanced myometrial vascularity/uterine arteriovenous malformations are typically present in women of childbearing age with intermittent to profuse vaginal bleeding symptoms. The diagnosis is typically made by transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound with color Doppler followed by computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance imaging to assess the extent of the malformation and visualize any feeding arteries. Treatment varies based on symptoms, age, patient preferences, and desire for future fertility and includes conservative therapy, uterine artery embolization, and hysterectomy. We report 3 cases of EVM/AVM, which were imaged and diagnosed utilizing ultrasonography and successfully treated with uterine artery embolization.

Background: Duplex ultrasound (DUS) is a well-tolerated, noninvasive imaging technique. Renal artery stenosis (RAS)—a narrowing of the arteries that supply the kidney—is involved in the cause of renal failure, and its gold-standard method of detection is digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Whether DUS is a suitable alternative to DSA or other angiographic modalities has only been reviewed up to 2005, producing mixed results with studies based on older ultrasound technology without a measurement of study quality. Purpose: To provide an up-to-date review of the diagnostic accuracy of DUS for the diagnosis of RAS in comparison with angiography. Methods: Our registered systematic review (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/SE9VN) examined articles post-2005. Studies must have compared RAS diagnosis between DUS and angiography. Sources were searched in November 2022 and included Scopus, EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Academic Search Premier (1749 citations; final: n = 34; DSA only: n = 9). Study quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Studies 2 tool and results are presented narratively. A total of 2968 (1281 females) patients were included. Duplex ultrasound exhibited moderately high agreement with DSA and other well-established angiographic criteria with the existing literature having low risk of bias and low concern for patient applicability. Studies exhibiting low agreement were generally in smaller samples or used unique definitions of stenosis. Conclusions: Improved study reporting, consistent definitions of stenosis, and a common statistical battery are needed.
