Aim: The aim of the paper is to report the clinical outcome after prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) in 13 consecutive patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Materials And Methods: From May 2012 to October 2013, we performed PAE in 13 consecutive patients (mean age 75.9 years) with BPH and LUTS and refractory to medical therapy; seven patients had an indwelling bladder catheter.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the midterm results of using the Cardiatis Multilayer Flow Modulator to treat visceral artery aneurysms in five male patients with an average age of 73, over a two-year follow-up period.
- All patients achieved technical success, with two experiencing complete aneurysm exclusion and sac shrinking, while two stents occluded without symptoms, and one patient had incomplete exclusion leading to sac reperfusion.
- The researchers concluded that more extensive data is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of this endovascular treatment method.
Objective: Our objective is to describe the results of a multicenter prospective trial on the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) using the Viatorr stent-graft.
Subjects And Methods: From 2001 to 2003, 114 patients (75 men and 39 women; mean age, 59.3 years) with portal hypertension underwent TIPS with the Viatorr stent-graft.
