Patent

CA 2354000

Devices, and methods are disclosed for treating a uterine disorder which receives its blood supply from a uterine arteries (18, 20, 22, 24). In particular, uterine fibroid is effectively treated by occluding arteries using trans-vaginal, trans-uterine, trans-rectal, or retroperitoneal approaches. The devices, the methods are advantageous because the inventive procedures may be performed by a patient's gynecologist in the course of treatment, avoiding the need for referrals to specialist practitioners, and for more radical treatments, such as hysterectomies. The methods include both temporary, and permanent occlusion of the arteries. A cannula (40) carries an imaging device (54), and a member (52) which will easily penetrate tissue. The member includes a device which partially or completely, and temporarily or permanently, occludes a uterine artery.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés permettant de traiter des tumeurs de l'utérus alimentées par des artères de l'utérus. En particulier, les fibromes sont traités efficacement via une occlusion des artères de l'utérus par des moyens de type transvaginal, transutérin, transrectal ou rétropéritonéal. L'avantage est que le gynécologue peut intervenir en cours de traitement, ce qui évite les consultations chez un spécialiste pour une prestation plus radicale, du type hystérectomie. On peut effectuer une occlusion temporaire ou permanente. Une canule transporte un système d'imagerie et un élément qui pénètre facilement dans les tissus. L'élément comprend un dispositif qui réalise complètement l'occlusion temporaire ou permanente.
