Transfemoral approach (TFA) is preferred which can be unilateral or bilateral; however, unilateral puncture is preferred due to lesser chances of puncture-related complications as compared to bilateral puncture. UAE through unilateral TFA is possible with use of reverse loop catheters (Roberts uterine catheter [RUC] or Gandras catheter) to access ipsilateral uterine artery. Other way of cannulating the ipsilateral uterine artery is by maneuvering catheters to form Waltman's loop\/Simmon's reverse loop. With advent of RUC, unilateral TFA became standard of care. In the recent past, RUC was retracted from Indian market and its nonavailability had mandated use of either bilateral TFA or use of catheters and techniques used in the past for unilateral TFA. Herein, we describe a technique of doing UAE by unilateral TFA using simple gentle curve catheter (Picard) by making a reverse curve loop.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1770086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,26]],"date-time":"2023-06-26T22:55:46Z","timestamp":1687820146000},"page":"543-547","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ipsilateral Uterine Artery Access Through Unilateral Transfemoral Approach Using Simple-Curve Catheter"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Anupam","family":"Lal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5250-4735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajesh","family":"Vijayvergiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1311-7203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manphool","family":"Singhal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"933","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000182582.64088.84","article-title":"Long-term outcome of uterine artery embolization of leiomyomata","volume":"106","author":"J B Spies","year":"2005","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000296526.71749.c9","article-title":"Uterine artery embolization for treatment of leiomyomata: long-term outcomes from the FIBROID Registry","volume":"111","author":"S C Goodwin","year":"2008","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"887","DOI":"10.1007\/s00270-010-9864-4","article-title":"The role of interventional radiology in obstetric hemorrhage","volume":"33","author":"M Gonsalves","year":"2010","journal-title":"Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1036","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvir.2009.04.070","article-title":"Arterial embolization for primary postpartum hemorrhage","volume":"20","author":"J M Kirby","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Vasc Interv Radiol"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1068","DOI":"10.1007\/s00270-015-1054-y","article-title":"Transcatheter arterial embolization for postpartum hemorrhage: indications, technique, results, and complications","volume":"38","author":"P Soyer","year":"2015","journal-title":"Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"488","DOI":"10.4103\/ijri.IJRI_204_16","article-title":"Rathinam D, Manchanda S, Srivastava DN.
