Abstract
The average age of onset of uterine leiomyoma (UL) is currently 32 years, with an incidence of secondary infertility of 25-56%; this is frequently managed by in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Case report: A 40-year-old patient with multiple UL accompanied by heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea and moderate anemia presented for a history of tuboperitoneal infertility lasting for 9 years. There were two childbirths (spontaneous vaginal delivery and caesarean section), missed miscarriage, left adnexectomy, myomectomy, dissection of intrauterine synechiae, two IVF attempts (one ended in a full-term delivery) in the patient’s history. Due to the severity of UL symptoms, uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed. The volume of UL was reduced by 32%. The patient underwent IVF and fresh embryo transfer, but pregnancy did not occur; after that cryopreserved/thawed embryo transfer was performed. The patient became pregnant, the course of the pregnancy was unremarkable; there was a caesarean section and a live birth of a female fetus weighing 3500g, 7/8 Apgar score. The postoperative period proceeded without complications, and the child develops normally.
Conclusion: UAE for symptomatic UL and infertility in combination with oocyte/embryo cryopreservation and IVF may be a promising method for achieving pregnancy in women with a burdened medical history.
