The median age of the patients was 45 years old, with the median target uterine fibroid maximum diameter of 6.9 cm. Thirteen patients presented with fibroid-related symptoms. No evidence of fluid reflux into the pelvic cavity was detected during and after ablation on either CEUS or CT imaging. No case of residual tumor, infection, endometriosis, intestinal injury or bladder injury was observed during follow-up. Symptom improvement was observed in 69.2% (9\/13) patients. No patient reported infertility due to intrauterine adhesion or endometrial injury after ablation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
