Prostatic artery embolization is a well-tolerated treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia, offering patients a positive experience despite some concerns about information access and procedure duration.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Patient Experience Research

Background:

  • Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) significantly impacts quality of life.
  • Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is an emerging minimally invasive treatment option for BPH.
  • Understanding patient perspectives on PAE is crucial for optimizing care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and describe the lived experiences of patients undergoing PAE.
  • To identify key factors influencing patient satisfaction and outcomes after PAE.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving 15 patients (mean age 73) who underwent PAE.
  • Semi-structured telephone interviews conducted 1-12 months post-treatment.
  • Data analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

Main Results:

  • Patients generally found PAE painless, easy, and interesting, with a calm atmosphere enhancing the experience.
  • Key issues included limited access to reliable pre- and post-procedure information and communication gaps.
  • Most patients resumed daily activities, with varied functional outcomes reported, including improved urine flow and sleep quality.

Conclusions:

  • PAE is perceived by patients as a well-tolerated and effective treatment for BPH.
  • Improvements in patient information, communication, and comfort during PAE are recommended.
  • Further research may explore the impact of procedure duration and patient self-selection on outcomes.
