Efficacy and safety of prostate artery embolization for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and indwelling urinary catheter: A retrospective multicenter study.

Purpose: The purpose of this multicenter study was to evaluate the clinical success at three months of prostate artery embolization (PAE), assess PAE safety in centers with various experiences and identify factors associated with PAE success.

Patients And Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included patients who underwent PAE for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including those with indwelling urinary catheter. PAE clinical success was defined as either 25% improvement of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) or 1-point improvement of quality of life (QoL) score, or catheter removal at three months.

The Optimal PEG for Kidney Preservation: A Preclinical Porcine Study.

University of Wisconsin (UW) solution is not optimal for preservation of marginal organs. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) could improve protection. Similarly formulated solutions containing either 15 or 20 g/L PEG 20 kDa or 5, 15 and 30 g/L PEG 35 kDa were tested in vitro on kidney endothelial cells, ex vivo on preserved kidneys, and in vivo in a pig kidney autograft model.

Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death: comparison of two kidney preservation protocols on graft outcomes.

Background: Kidney transplantation following uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) presents a high risk of delayed graft function due to prolonged warm ischemia time. In order to minimise the effects of ischemia/reperfusion injury during warm ischemia, normothermic recirculation recently replaced in situ perfusion prior to implantation in several institutions. The aim of this study was to compare these preservation methods on kidney graft outcomes.

[Anticoagulation impact on bleeding risk during HoLEP: Monocentric study of 156 patients].

Objective: Compare the length of hospital stay and the complications after HoLEP between three groups of patients: a control group, a group with antiplatelet therapy, a group with anticoagulation therapy.

Materials: Retrospective cohort study that included all consecutive patients who underwent HoLEP for prostatic hyperplasia in our center from may 2013 to may 2016. Anticoagulated patients and patients under clopidogrel had respectively a relay with heparine and aspirine.

Management of renal transplant urolithiasis: a multicentre study by the French Urology Association Transplantation Committee.

Purpose: Urolithiasis is rare among renal transplant recipients and its management has not been clearly defined.

Methods: This multicentre retrospective study was organised by the Comité de Transplantation de l'Association Française d'Urologie (French Urology Association transplantation committee). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 19 software.
