    "abstract": "This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for uterine fibroids (UFs), specifically submucosal UFs, according to the International Federation of\u00a0Gynecology\u00a0and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification of UFs.\nForty-two patients with symptomatic UFs underwent UAE with Embosphere\nThirty-seven of the 42 patients were evaluated. Overall, VRR was 37.0% at 3\u00a0months and 52.1% at 6\u00a0months; TSR, SIR, and RR were 100%, 95.2%, and 5.4%, respectively; VRR at 6\u00a0months was 80.7% for group A (n\u2009=\u20097), 57.8% for group B (n\u2009=\u200913), and 37.1% for group C (n\u2009=\u200917). Significant differences were found between A and C (p\u2009<\u20090.001) and B and C (p\u2009=\u20090.023). Hormone levels before UAE had no effect on VRR. There was no significant AEs other than grade 3 pulmonary embolism in one patient.\nUAE was effective for submucosal FIGO types 0-3. UAE was especially useful as an option for FIGO type 3 with a low protrusion rate that is difficult to treat with transcervical resection.",
