Influence of benign prostatic hyperplasia patterns detected with MRI on the clinical outcome after prostatic artery embolization

Abstract: Background To investigate the influence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patterns detected with MRI on clinical outcomes after prostatic artery embolization (PAE). Materials & methods This retrospective study included 71 consecutive patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate followed by PAE at a single centre. MRI scans were evaluated and BPH patterns were determined ac… Show more

“…Prostatic artery embolization was conducted by the same interventional radiologist in all 78 patients. Technical aspects of the procedure have been described in detail previously 19 . All PAE were performed using an angiographic unit with a digital flat-panel detector system (Allura Xper FD20; Phillips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) equipped with cone beam CT option.…”

“…Three radiologists (C.M. and E.J., senior radiologists with 10 and 8 years of experience in urological imaging, respectively, and A.M. a fellow with a 6-month internship in interventional radiology and urological imaging) double-blinded assessed the following radiological features from MRI 0 : (i) PPI, categorized as: grade 1 + 2: ≤10 mm and grade 3: >10 mm [17]; (ii) adBPH according to Little et al (defined as two or more adenomas [i.e., with intermediate T1-WI/T2-WI signal, surrounded by a low T1-WI/T2-WI capsule and marked contrast-enhancement after gadolinium-chelates injection] within the peri-urethral transition zone of 1 cm or greater) [9]; (iii) qualitative assessment of the signal intensity (SI) of the transitional zone on T2-WI (subjectively categorized as high, intermediate, or low compared to the pelvic muscles); (iv) simplified Wasserman classification (categorized as type 1: bilateral transitional zone hyperplasia, type 2: retro-urethral median lobe hyperplasia [reference], type 3: type 1 + type 2) [10,18]; (v) intra-bladder lithiasis; (vi) bladder diverticula.…”

“…Thus, several studies have investigated features associated with PAE success but with diverging results. High prostate volume, younger age, and adenomatous benign BPH (adBPH) have been linked with higher rates of success [7][8][9][10] whereas cardiovascular comorbidities, unilateral embolization, or glue and large microspheres may provide worse prognosis [8,11,12]. Moreover, radiological features assessing the shape of the adenoma such as prostate protrusion index (PPI) within the bladder, or the presence of a median lobe have shown controversial results [4,10,13,14].…”
