Note: *One subject had an ultrasound at baseline that showed evidence of the presence of fibroids, prior to her
enrollment and UFE procedure. Another subject had a MRI at baseline that showed evidence of the presence
of fibroids, prior to her enrollment and UFE procedure. Subsequent to enrollment and treatment, the Core Lab
was unable to measure uterine fibroids for two subjects after reviewing each subject's baseline MRI. The Core
Lab noted no measurable fibroids and the presence of adenomyosis. **The Core Lab was unable to measure
uterine fibroids for one myomectomy subject because the subject's baseline MRI was considered corrupt and
could not be reviewed.
Study results
One hundred forty nine (149) UFE subjects and 60 myomectomy subjects were
considered intent-to-treat (ITT) and included in the FDA submission.
Procedure, Discharge, and recovery Information
In the majority (96.6%) of the UFE procedures, the investigators used a right common
femoral artery approach, while 3.4 % used a bilateral common femoral artery approach.
The majority (63.1%) of the Contour™ Embolization Particles used during the study was
355-500 microns, while 24.1% was 500-710 microns, and 12.7% was 250-355 microns. Many
of the UFE procedures used more than one size of Contour Embolization Particles.
A majority of the UFE subjects (96.0%) were under conscious sedation during the
procedure, 38.9% were under local anesthesia, 11.4% received epidural anesthesia,
0.7% received general anesthesia, and 6.0% used another form of anesthesia. The
majority (98.3%) of the myomectomy subjects were under general anesthesia during the
procedure, 1.7% were under local anesthesia, and 3.3% received epidural anesthesia.
In some of the UFE and myomectomy procedures, more than one form of anesthesia
was administered.
The mean total procedure time for the UFE subjects was 83.9 minutes (SD 47.44,
range 13 to 240 minutes) which was less than the mean total procedure time in the
myomectomy cohort of 141.6 minutes (SD 69.64, range 45 to 402 minutes).
