Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011013127A2] Apparatus and methods are provided for use with a body, vagina (27), vaginal fornix (45), uterus (23), cervix (35), left and right broad ligaments (53) and left and right uterine arteries (21) of a subject. The apparatus includes left and right rigid structures (51L, 51R) that are inserted into the subject's fornix such that distal ends of the rigid structures are at sites anterior to perivascular adipose layers of, respectively, the subject's left and right broad ligaments. At least one uterine artery compression device (28L, 28R) is placed posterior to the broad ligaments and compresses the subject's left and right uterine arteries by pressing the left and right broad ligaments against, respectively, the left and right rigid structures. Other embodiments are also described.
