“…Embolization of the main trunk or whole anterior or posterior divisions of the internal iliac artery, compared to superselective embolization as distal as possible, increased a chance of ischemic complications. When the gluteal artery was not protected buttocks and upper tights pain could occur as a complication [ 39 , 40 ]. Rastinhead et al [ 6 ] reported an individual case with rectovesical fistula one month after embolization.…”

“…The complication was related to prior advanced cancer status with rectum invasion. One microcoil migration from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery [ 25 ] and singular case with a pseudoaneurysm of the common femoral artery [ 40 ] had been described in the studies. Malling et al [ 38 ] used CIRSE classification system for complications to reveal post-embolization difficulties.…”

“…After analysis of the published studies we revealed recurrence of the hematuria which ranged 10–57% [ 6 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 34 , 35 , 39 , 40 ]. Nabi et al [ 33 ] reported no situation with re-bleeding in all six patients.…”

Introduction Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting European men. Sequelae of the advanced malignancy require invasive procedures which may not be eligible especially for old, debilitated patients. The aim of this manuscript is to review the outcomes of prostate artery embolization in the management of refractory bleeding. Material and methods A PubMed database search was done for all English language articles on prostate artery embolization in prostate cancer, published between 2003 and 2019. For current review, information related to number, age of the patients, aetiology of the hematuria, bilateral or unilateral procedure, type of embolic material, technical and clinical success, complications, recurrent hematuria, hematocrit and hemoglobin levels were analyzed. Results A total of 10 original full-text comparative and non-comparative (case series) studies were reviewed. Minor complications described in the literature ranged from 10–50%. After prostate artery embolization, the recurrence of the haematuria occurred in 10–57% of the patients. Moreover, prostate artery embolization successfully treated lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary retention in prostate cancer patients. Conclusions The procedure appears safe, burdened with low risk of complications and accomplishes technical and clinical success. It is a promising option for patients with hemorrhage, but due to the scarcity of data further investigations are needed.

“…Appropriate characterization is important because some surgeries can require ligation and division of these arteries. For example, one patient in a study of arterial hemorrhaging after radical prostatectomy had both those arteries injured (Bonne et al, 2017). The superior vesical arteries are also in danger of laceration during laparoscopic lymph node dissection during, for example, excision of colorectal cancers (Ryu et al, 2022).…”

The superior vesical artery: A review of conflicting definitions and how these could affect invasive procedures

et al. 2023

Since the superior umbilical artery is the only functioning branch of the patent umbilical artery, some anatomical and surgical books/atlases fail to clarify that it is a branch of the umbilical artery and not a direct branch of the anterior division of the internal iliac artery and so specifically state that it is a direct branch of the internal iliac artery. This discrepancy in nomenclature can obviously affect invasive procedures and communication between physicians. Therefore, the present review is intended to highlight this issue. The term “superior vesical artery” was searched using standard search engines, for example, PubMed and Google Scholar. Several standard and specialized anatomy textbooks were also examined to ascertain how the superior vesical artery was described. Thirty‐two articles were identified that used the terms “superior vesical artery” or “superior vesical arteries.” After applying exclusion criteria, in 28 papers, the definition of the superior vesical artery was undetermined in eight, described as a direct branch of the internal iliac artery in 13, described as a branch of the umbilical artery in six, and defined as being equivalent to the umbilical artery in one. Of the sampled textbooks, some defined the superior vesicle artery as a branch of the umbilical artery, some as a direct branch of the internal iliac artery and some as both. Taken all together, most define the superior vesical artery as a branch of the umbilical artery. As the superior vesical artery is described as a branch of the umbilical artery in the internationally accepted terminology (Terminologia Anatomica), we recommend that this definition be used by anatomists and physicians alike so that communication is clear.

“…First, distal embolization is performed using small embolic agents (<300 μm); next, proximal embolization is achieved using larger embolic agents (≥300 μm). 13 , 16 Protective embolization of the arteries of important organs, such as the penis, bladder, and rectum, should be performed using microcoils when superselective catheterization fails. 13 Additionally, when patients suffer severe hemorrhage and their vital signs are unstable, embolization of the anterior iliac artery using biodegradable embolic materials, such as gelatin sponge particles, can be performed if it is difficult to superselectively catheterize the target arteries.…”
