Obstruction of uterine arteries to treat uterine fibroids using mechanical instruments to twist the vessels |
| abstract |
A device for degenerating a fibroid comprises a gripper mechanism sized and shaped so as to grip a uterine artery and a rotating mechanism attached to the gripper mechanism. The rotating mechanism may be rotated so as to rotate said gripper mechanism, thereby twisting a gripped uterine artery so as to obstruct blood flow through the artery. In a method of degenerating a uterine fibroid, the aforesaid gripping device is used to catch hold of a uterine artery and is rotated in a direction so as to twist the uterine artery about itself, thereby obstructing blood flow to the uterine fibroid. The gripping device is held in place for a period of time needed to degenerate the fibroid. |
