Purpose: To evaluate the use of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) as a treatment option for patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with prostate volumes of 80 cc and more.
Materials And Methods: The study included 75 patients with high anesthesia-related risks for conventional surgery (TURP). All patients were surveyed for symptom burden, using IPSS and quality of life score.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of superselective embolization and chemoembolization of the prostatic artery as an independent method of treating prostate cancer and BPH.
Materials And Methods: From 2004 to 2015, 116 patients with BPH (mean age 73.2+/-5.
The study included 59 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and high risk of anesthesia who underwent superselective embolization of prostatic arteries. The examination included a survey on the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), assessment of quality of life (QoL), estimation of prostate and node size with transrectal ultrasound, determination of prostate-specific antigen level; in doubtful cases a needle prostate biopsy was performed. To analyze the quality of urination uroflowmetry was conducted.
