What does this research mean for the field?

Interventional radiology provides safe, effective, and minimally invasive organ-sparing alternatives for managing selected gynecological and obstetric conditions, although long-term reproductive outcomes require further investigation. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

Overview

Literature review demonstrates high efficacy and reduced morbidity of endovascular interventions in gynecological disorders, suggesting minimally invasive alternatives to conventional surgery.

Key Points

To review the clinical applications, safety, and therapeutic outcomes of interventional radiology procedures as minimally invasive alternatives to surgery for gynecological and obstetric disorders.
Synthesized literature on endovascular modalities including uterine artery embolization, ovarian vein embolization, and prophylactic balloon occlusion.
Assessed diagnostic and therapeutic workflows across uterine fibroids, pelvic congestion syndrome, placenta accreta spectrum, cesarean scar pregnancy, and high-risk vascular lesions.
Endovascular techniques achieve high technical success and meaningful symptom relief while substantially decreasing hospitalization duration and perioperative complications compared to open surgery.
Prophylactic balloon occlusion and targeted embolization effectively manage life-threatening obstetric hemorrhages, though evidence for vascular lesions such as splenic artery aneurysms remains largely limited to case reports.
Current clinical evidence is constrained by small cohort sizes, heterogeneous study populations, and insufficient long-term data regarding fertility and reproductive outcomes.
