Fibroid Embolization: Uterine fibroid embolization is performed by an interventional radiologist, physician trained to perform minimally invasive procedures. After a small groin skin nick, using real-time imaging, a catheter is guided through the artery & then releases tiny particles into uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroid tumor. This blocks the blood flow to the fibroid tumor & causes it to shrink & die
