Abstract:
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, offering effective symptom relief with fewer complications than traditional surgery. This is a case report of a 68-year-old male with an enlarged prostate who developed contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) post-PAE, progressing to dialysis-dependent renal failure and cardiac arrest. Prompt dialysis and ICU care stabilized renal function, with recovery observed at eight weeks. This case underscores the need for vigilance in high-risk patients to mitigate AKI risk and optimize PAE outcomes.
