Transcatheter embolization of uterine arteries as a treatment of uterine fibroids or as a treatment of postpartum uterine hemorrhage may be considered medically necessary.
One repeat transcatheter embolization of uterine arteries to treat persistent symptoms of uterine fibroids after an initial uterine artery embolization may be considered medically necessary (see Policy Guidelines section).
Transcatheter embolization for the management of all other indications, including cervical ectopic pregnancy, uterine arteriovenous malformation, and adenomyosis is considered investigational.
