Prostate Artery Embolization: Challenges, Tips, Tricks, and Perspectives

Abstract: Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) consists of blocking the arteries supplying the prostate to treat benign prostate hypertrophia (BPH). Its effectiveness on both urinary symptoms and flowmetric parameters has now been amply demonstrated by around a hundred studies, including several randomized trials. The main advantage of this procedure is the very low rate of urinary and sexual sequelae, including ejaculatory, with an excellent tolerance profile. The arterial anatomy is a key element for the realization of… Show more

“…The main purpose of this paper is to present the procedural protocol in our department and the results of the study on the arterial origin of the PA. We expect this study to serve as a guide for young interventional radiologists who want to perform PAE by presenting the protocol of the procedure from our department and the main challenges we have encountered [9].…”

“…One prominent focus of this issue revolves around prostatic artery embolization, an increasingly promising technique for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. The articles within this issue present invaluable insights, offering tips and tricks to enhance the precision of the procedure using real-time navigation [8] devices and showcasing the benefits of radial access in facilitating outpatient management [9]. These techniques not only bolster the safety and efficiency of the procedure but also lead to reduced patient recovery times.…”
