Purpose Of Review: The prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is rising, however, current treatment options present severe complications and limit patient's quality of life. Accordingly, advancements in prostatic catheter and stent designs for use in treating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in BPH patients have largely expanded in the past five years and we aim to provide an exhaustive summary of recent outcomes.
Recent Findings: The dual dilation and paxlitaxel eluting Optilume BPH Catheter System enhances promise in catheter-based treatments, providing the longest sustained increase in max urinary flow rate and decrease in post-void residual volume compared to alternative MISTs.

Objective: To assess the extent of racial reporting and enrollment in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST) for the office-based treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted for RCTs assessing 6 office-based MISTs: transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), prostatic artery embolization, prostatic urethral lift, temporary implantable nitinol device, water vapor thermal therapy, and Optilume. MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched up to November 3, 2023.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to gather initial safety and efficacy data with the Optilume BPH Catheter System for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods: A total of 80 men with moderate-to-severe LUTS secondary to BPH were enrolled and treated with the Optilume BPH Catheter System. Symptoms were evaluated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia-Impact Index (BPH-II).
