The invention provides devices, systems and methods for reducing or abolishing blood flow by occluding uterine arteries for treating adenomyosis and endometriosis. A non-invasive uterine artery occlusion device embodying features of the invention includes a pair of pressure-applying members with opposed tissue-contacting surfaces, a supporting shaft configured to adjust the distance between tissue-contacting surfaces, and at least one sensor for locating a uterine artery disposed on at least one pressure-applying member. Uterine arteries are occluded by indirectly compressing the artery by compressing tissue near to an artery. One uterine artery may be occluded or both may be occluded simultaneously. A uterine artery may be accessed via a body cavity, such as a patient's vagina, and may be occluded by compressing a portion of the vaginal wall around a portion of a uterine artery.
L~invention a pour objet des dispositifs, systèmes et procédés permettant la réduction ou l~interruption du flux sanguin par l~occlusion des artères utérines pour le traitement de l~adénomyose et de l~endométriose. Un dispositif d~occlusion des artères utérines non invasif conforme à l~invention comprend deux éléments d~application de pression aux surfaces de contact tissulaire opposées, une tige de support conçue pour ajuster la distance entre les surfaces de contact tissulaire et au moins un capteur servant à localiser une artère utérine et placé sur au moins l~un des éléments d~application de pression. L~obstruction des artères utérines est réalisée par compression indirecte de l~artère, et ce par compression de tissu voisin de l~artère. Il est possible de pratiquer l~occlusion d~une artère utérine ou des deux simultanément. On peut accéder à une artère utérine par une cavité anatomique, telle que le vagin d~une patiente, et procéder à son occlusion par compression d~une partie de la paroi vaginale qui entoure une partie de l'artère utérine.
