Conditions

Uterine Fibroid

Brief summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational, post-market clinical follow-up study in subjects treated with Bearing nsPVA Embolization Particles for uterine fibroid embolization. Data collection will include safety and performance outcome relating to the use of Bearing nsPVA, through 6 months.

Interventions

DEVICEBearing nsPVA

Bearing nsPVA Embolization Particles are irregularly-shaped, biocompatible, hydrophilic, nonresorbable particles produced from polyvinyl alcohol. These embolization particles are intended to provide vascular occlusion or reduction of blood flow within target vessels upon selective placement through a variety of catheters. Bearing nsPVA Embolization Particles are used for the embolization of symptomatic (leiomyoma uteri) uterine fibroids.
