UFE with the use of Bead Block microspheres 700\u2013900\u2009\u00b5m was obtained until flow stasis was achieved. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to define residual contrast enhancement in the total fibroid burden and enhancement &gt;10% was defined as insufficient embolization. The dominant fibroid volume and total uterine volume changes were assessed. Clinical outcome was analyzed using the quality of life questionnaire (UFS-QOL).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-four of the 26 patients (92%) had a technically successful UFE with complete flow-stop in both uterine arteries. Twenty-two of the 26 patients (85%) completed 3 months of MRI control and 20 patients (77%) completed 12 months of MRI control. There were 16 of 22 patients (73%) with complete fibroid burden infarction and\/or without residual contrast enhancement of the fibroids of more than 10% at 3 months of control. Six of 22 patients (27%) had insufficient fibroid burden infarction with residual contrast enhancement of more than 10%. Twenty-two and 18 of 26 patients completed the 3-month and 12-month questionnaire, respectively. UFS-QOL analyses showed that 91% of the patients had significant clinical improvement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
