Prostatic artery embolization as an alternative in managing moderate to severe LUTS

MUDr. Petr Dolák
Urologické oddělení nemocnice Nový Jičín

The incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with prostatic hypertrophy has been increasing, certainlyalso because of the prolonging life expectancy in the current population. Internal comorbidity is a complication ofurological treatment, particularly in elderly patients. Selective prostatic artery embolization is a relatively new and, sofar, little widespread alternative for these patients that has shown some promising early results, while having a verygood safety profile.

Keywords: lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), prostatic artery embolization (PAE)
