|April 6, 2026
Summary
Prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm, a rare complication after prostate procedures, can cause significant hematuria. Transcatheter embolization effectively treated this condition in a patient presenting with gross hematuria and anemia.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication.
- It is an uncommon cause of gross hematuria, often following urologic procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

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...
