Summary
Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a promising treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This review covers patient selection, clinical management, and expected outcomes for interventional radiologists.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Radiology
- Urology
- Vascular Medicine
Background:
- Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is an emerging minimally invasive treatment.
- Growing evidence supports its transition from research to clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review patient selection criteria for PAE.
- To outline clinical management strategies for PAE procedures.
- To discuss expected outcomes and complication profiles.
Main Methods:
- Review of patient selection paradigms.
- Discussion of pre-operative and post-operative clinical management.
- Introduction to key urologic measurements and tests.
- Analysis of expected outcomes and potential complications.
Main Results:
- Effective patient selection is crucial for successful PAE outcomes.
- Comprehensive clinical management enhances procedural success.
- PAE demonstrates promising results for BPH-related symptoms.
Conclusions:
- Prostate artery embolization is a viable and promising treatment option.
- It effectively addresses lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...
