Cone-beam CT findings during prostate artery embolization for benign prostatic hyperplasia-induced lower urinary tract symptoms: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a new and useful technique for angiographic procedures. Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) has emerged as a promising treatment modality for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). CBCT can be helpful for PAE to determine the correct arteries for embolization, and to show any occlusion of these arteries. Case presentation: Herein, we report on a patient who underwent CBCT-guided PAE as treatment for BPH-induced LUTS, present the imaging findings, and provide technical suggestions. Conclusions: PAE is an effective, minimally invasive modality for the treatment of LUTS due to BPH, and contrast CBCT can help visualize and demonstrate occlusion of the prostatic arteries.

Review of Prostate Artery Embolization for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
Lower urinary tract symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia are a very prevalent disease process which affects more than 40% of men over age 60. When LUTS from BPH become medically refractory, transurethral resection of the prostate and prostatectomy have been the gold standards for treatment. While the efficacy of these procedures has been clearly delineated, they are also associated with s...
