简要总结
This Post Market study is being conducted to compare the direct and indirect cost of three approaches (GFA, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization) for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids.
详细描述
Uterine fibroids are the most common pelvic neoplasms in women; they severely impact quality of life and are the leading indication for hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is the definitive treatment for myomas; however, many patients seek alternative uterine-sparing therapy and desire to conserve their fertility. Myomectomy is a much-reported surgical option for women with symptomatic fibroids and, until recently, the abdominal approach has been the approach of choice for most surgeons. Over time, patients have requested less invasive procedures and minimally invasive, laparoscopic options are becoming more popular among patients and their gynecologists. Standard surgical and interventional treatments for uterine fibroids are costly to society and to the health care system. New technologies such as GFA may offer a low-cost alternative to the standard treatments for symptomatic uterine fibroids in women who desire uterine conservation. This study seeks to evaluate those cost differences between three available uterine-sparing techniques and to explore the qualitative outcomes such as symptom severity, health related quality of life, and overall treatment effect.

结局指标
主要结局
Compare direct cost of GFA compared to those of myomectomy and UAE
时间窗: 3 months post procedure
To compare medical, surgical, and hospitalization costs (including procedural complication costs) of Global Fibroid Ablation (GFA) compared to those of Myomectomy and Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)at 3 months post procedure.
Compare rates of acute and near-term serious complications to the acute and near-term treatment-related serious adverse events of pivotal study.
时间窗: 3 months post procedure
Overall rates of acute (within 48 hours post procedure) and near-term (between 2 and 30 days post procedure) serious complications in all GFA subjects compared to the acute and near-term treatment-related serious adverse event rates in the pivotal study.
次要结局

- Assess subject's satisfaction with her treatment(60 Months)
- Assess UFS-QoL pre-treatment to post treatment in all treatment groups(60 Months)
- Assess the comparative safety of the three treatment alternatives(60 Months)
- Assess subjects menstrual bleeding using the MIQ(60 Months)
