“…Since then, multiple sources have sited various data regarding the safety and efficiency of this procedure in regards to different prostate sizes and various conditions. In the published paper as presented by, Si et al ThuVaRP is safe and effective in the treatment of BPH in high‐risk patients with an average age of 82.6 years old. The data presented by the Macchione et al paper confirmed the safety of ThuVaRP in patients on continuous oral anticoagulant or anti‐platelet therapy; with less blood loss and promising outcomes in a 6‐month follow‐up.…”
