Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) affects outcomes after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in men with urinary issues from benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- It included 160 men, analyzing their IPP severity (graded from 1 to 3) and assessing symptoms through standardized questionnaires before and after the procedure.
- Results showed that while severe IPP (grade 3) led to a more significant improvement in symptoms compared to non-severe cases, the overall efficacy of PAE was not hindered by the degree of IPP.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) concerns 50% of men older that 60 Years old and can induce symptoms also earlier. Medical treatment are mostly alpha blockers (AB), 5-alpha réductase inhibitors (5ARI) and phospho-diestérase inhibitors. In case of failure or poor tolerance of drug treatment, surgery can be indicated, after evaluation of the Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO), based on urodynamic studies.
