Uterine artery embolization (UAE), also known as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a procedure that aims to cut off blood supply to uterine fibroids. A doctor injects small particles into the uterine arteries feeding the fibroids, cutting off their blood supply. Unlike a hysterectomy, this procedure preserves the uterus and helps women potentially avoid surgery.
