Patients who had UAE for other causes were excluded. Causes of UAVM, embolic agents used, procedural success, recurrent genital bleeding, and complications like pulmonary embolism and groin bleeding were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Seven female patients (mean age: 34 years) with 8 UAE procedures were included, with three postpartum and four after miscarriages. The mean length of follow-up after UAE was 50 months. Absorbable gelatin was used in six patients, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles were used in one patient. 5\/6 patients (83.3%) had successful UAE with absorbable haemostatic gelatin. There were no procedure-related complications, including pulmonary embolism and uterine infarcts. Only one patient required a repeated UAE 33 days later for recurrent vaginal bleeding, which required sodium tetradecyl sulphate injection and microcoils during embolisation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Acquired UAVM is very rare but life-threatening. Absorbable haemostatic gelatin, a temporary embolic agent, appears safe and effective in treating UAVM with uterine preservation. It eliminates the potential risk of uterine infarction that might occur with permanent embolic agents.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Graphical Abstract<\/jats:title>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10140-025-02386-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]],"date-time":"2025-09-10T07:09:43Z","timestamp":1757488183000},"page":"751-757","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation: efficacy of the use of absorbable haemostatic gelatin in uterine artery embolisation"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5033-8095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thay Hui","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7424-9947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenneth K.","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2386_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sult.2020.08.002","volume":"42","author":"F Giurazza","year":"2021","unstructured":"Giurazza F, Corvino F, Silvestre M, Cavaglia E, Amodio F, Cangiano G et al (2021) Uterine arteriovenous malformations.
