ABSTRACT
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is an emerging treatment option for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PAE is a minimally invasive technique and provides good results in BPH patients with moderate-to-severe LUTS. Most patients with BPH are old and have atherosclerosis. PAE can be technically challenging in these patients because of the tortuosity and small diameters of prostatic arteries. Therefore, patient selection is essential for successful results. To perform a safe procedure with no non-target embolization, precise knowledge of the prostatic arterial anatomy and meticulous techniques are important. A multidisciplinary approach by interventional radiologists and urologists is essential to achieve better outcomes.
