BMC Urology Oct 15, 2020

Somwaru AS, Metting S, Flisnik LM, et al. - This retrospective investigation was conducted to explore the long-term efficacy and safety of prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) as a treatment option for severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH) in a large patient cohort. Researchers retrospectively included a total of 529 patients who had undergone PAE between January 2016 and January 2020, 72 patients had severe LUTS from GPH. PAE was found to be a safe treatment with long term efficacy for severe LUTS from GPH. The results considered that PAE may be a viable therapeutic option for patients with severe LUTS from GPH who fail medical therapy and are not candidates for surgical treatments.
