*Embolotherapy involves the delivery of agents such as particles, to the blood vessels feeding a tumor, using a catheter.  The particles cause the blood to clot cutting off the blood supply to the tumor.

**Uterine Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus that can grow as large as grapefruit and cause heavy periods, pain, frequent urination, bloating and reproductive problems including infertility and miscarriage.
