: This multicentric study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) to remove indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Secondary objectives were to identify features associated with post-PAE catheter-free survival (PCFS). : All consecutive patients who underwent PAE for IUC related to BPH with a follow-up of at least 2 years (except for early death) in 6 French University Hospitals were retrospectively included.

- This study investigates the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) with gelatin foam to manage delayed bleeding caused by vascularized retained products of conception (vRPOC) after abortion or miscarriage during a 5-year period at 11 French hospitals.
- Out of 224 patients evaluated, 94.2% experienced clinical success, although 7.3% showed persistent vRPOC at imaging follow-ups, with some minor and major complications reported.
- The results suggest that while UAE with gelatin foam is generally safe and effective, certain factors like having a hypertrophic uterine artery and using gelatin foam torpedoes may increase the risk of persistent bleeding issues.
Background: Percutaneous cryoablation (PCA), having shown effectiveness in treating liver, lung, prostate, breast, and kidney tumors, is now gaining attention for the treatment of soft tissue tumors. PCA functions by freezing tissue, which induces ice crystal formation and cell death without damaging collagen structures. Technical considerations include the selection and handling of cryoprobes and cryogenic agents, procedural duration, and choice of image guidance for precision.
