What is UFE?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization(internal link) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat fibroid symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. It involves blocking the blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to lessen.

At Vascular Tree, the typical range for a UFE procedure is from $4,000 to $12,000. This range includes the pre-procedure consultation, the procedure itself, and the follow-up visits.
