Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of performing prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with a transradial approach (TRA). Nineteen consecutive PAEs performed using a TRA were reviewed to determine the technical success of the procedure, which was defined as bilateral embolization. Procedural details, complications, and limitations were recorded.
Conclusion:
Technical success was achieved in all 19 procedures. The associated complications were minor and included two small (< 5 cm) hematomas and one potential case of delayed radial arteritis. PAE performed with a TRA is technically feasible.
