“…About 77 studies were included in this review (Fig. 1) and were assessed for bias using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses (19–95). Our review considered articles to have a low risk of bias if all checklist criteria were met, moderate risk if greater than or equal to 75% of criteria were met, and high risk if less than 75% of criteria were met.…”

“…In the past, the diagnosis of AVMs was often only histological after the discovery of arteriovenous fistula after hysterectomy [23] , [24] , [25] , but today, thanks to the advent of imaging modalities such as color Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and pelvic angiography, diagnosis is easier and possible earlier. Pelvic angiography remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of AVMs [26] , [27] , [28] , although it is not routinely used since ultrasound has a good detection [28] , [29] , [30] . In fact, ultrasound, in particular with the use of color Doppler, can allow the differential diagnosis between retained products of conception (RPCO), subinvolution of the placental bed, adenomyosis [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] and uterine AVMs that mainly involve only the myometrium showing serpiginous tubular vascular structures [36] , [37] , [38] .…”

“…Conversely, the most important complications are ischemic uterine injury, sepsis, pulmonary embolism, and even death, but all of these major complications are quite rare. [293031] Moreover, potential negative effect of UAE can be reduction in ovarian function, mostly in older patients in which menopause can occur earlier than expected, or in women who already had ovarian function impairment. [26] Still, ovarian failure after UAE seems to occur with the same incidence as after myomectomy[29] and so far, there is no diagnostic test to predict which patients are prone to UAE complications.…”
