Fallopian tube catheterization

Uses a catheter to open blocked fallopian tubes without surgery; a treatment for infertility.

Uterine fibroid embolization

Uterine fibroid embolization, also referred to as uterine artery embolization, is a minimally invasive interventional radiology treatment that cuts off the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.
