Potential of pre-interventional magnetic resonance angiography for optimization of workflow and clinical outcome of prostatic arterial embolization.

Purpose: Impact of pre-interventional magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) on prostatic artery embolization (PAE) regarding workflow, radiation dose, and clinical outcome.

Method: Retrospective evaluation of 259 patients (mean age 68 ± 9, range 41-92) with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) undergoing PAE between January 2017 and December 2020. MRA was performed in 137 cases.
