Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Urology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting aging men.
  • Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is an emerging minimally invasive treatment for BPH.
  • Balloon-occlusion technique offers potential advantages in PAE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of balloon-occlusion PAE.
  • To assess the clinical outcomes of balloon-occlusion PAE in patients with BPH.

Main Methods:

  • A single-center study involving twelve patients undergoing balloon-occlusion PAE.
  • Successful bilateral prostatic artery catheterization in all patients.
  • Assessment of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality-of-life (QoL) scores.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in mean IPSS by 15 ± 7 points (P < .01).
  • Significant improvement in mean QoL scores by 4 ± 1 points (P < .01).
  • Mean follow-up of 22 ± 8 weeks with only self-limiting minor complications.

Conclusions:

  • Balloon-occlusion PAE is technically feasible and safe.
  • The procedure demonstrates promising efficacy in improving BPH symptoms and quality of life.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings in larger cohorts.
