Implementation of uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic uterine fibroids: an inventory van der Kooij SM; Klint E; Hehenkamp WJ; Bipat S; Ankum WM; Reekers JANeth J Med 2011[Jun]; 69 (6): 274-8The validity of uterine artery embolisation (UAE ) as an alternative treatment for hysterectomy to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids has been well established. Despite its favourable outcomes, UAE is still only marginally applied in the Netherlands. The aim of this inventory is to identify factors which either restrict or facilitate the implementation of UAE. Gynaecologists and interventional-radiologists in three hospitals in Amsterdam were interviewed by means of questionnaires. One of these hospitals had ample experience in UAE for uterine fibroids, one hospital had just started providing this treatment, and one hospital did not perform UAE. Also patients with symptomatic fibroids who were scheduled for either UAE or hysterectomy were interviewed about the counselling for UAE. The following obstacles in the implementation of UAE were found: lack of knowledge about UAE , absence of a multidisciplinary protocol, and above all, the absence of UAE as one of the treatment options in the Dutch national guideline on the management of menorrhagia. 75% of all patients claimed to be well informed about UAE by their gynaecologist. Our recommendations for the implementation of UAE are: 1) adding UAE to the Dutch guideline for the management of menorrhagia with clearly defined indications and contraindications; 2) educating gynaecologists about UAE; 3) composing a patient information leaflet and a website, and 4) arranging a protocol in a multidisciplinary team.|Attitude of Health Personnel[MESH]|Decision Making[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gynecology/education/methods/standards[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hysterectomy/*statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Interviews as Topic[MESH]|Leiomyoma/complications/surgery/*therapy[MESH]|Menorrhagia/etiology/surgery/*therapy[MESH]|Netherlands[MESH]|Patient Education as Topic[MESH]|Patient Preference[MESH]|Premenopause[MESH]|Radiology, Interventional/education/methods/standards[MESH]|Uterine Artery Embolization/*statistics & numerical data[MESH] |
