Patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis naturally improve after menopause. Therefore, some patients only need to relieve symptoms, especially those near menopause, and they prefer to be treated by conservative methods. We summarized several minimally invasive interventional methods: uterine artery intervention (Uterine artery embolization, UAE), nerve intervention (upper and lower abdominal plexus block, SHPB), ultrasound intervention (puncture sclerotherapy; high intensity focused ultrasound treatment).

Anatomical Guidance

Our research project at LabTau aims at developing a probe capable of delivering HIFU into the heart by a trans oesophageal approach for treating cardiac arrhythmia. Anatomical guidance is achieved with B-mode ultrasound imaging. The goal of the present study is to generate thermal lesion on beating heart of primate, where arrhythmia foci are present in humans, in order to prove the feasibility of the approach. Treatments will be monitored in real time with conventional and passive ultrafast elastography, and then with MRI. This original strategy for treating arrhythmia would avoid invasive insertion of catheter into the heart.
