Review of Prostate Artery Embolization for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 significant peri-operative morbidity. Prostatic artery embolization is a new treatment for medically refractory benign prostatic hyperplasia. The data for this treatment is still limited but multiple studies have been published. This article reviews the available literature on this subject.

Successful minimally-invasive management of a case of giant prostatic hypertrophy associated with recurrent nephrogenic adenoma of the prostate
BACKGROUND Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is said to affect at least a third of men over 60. However, the literature contains fewer than 200 reports of prostates over 200g in mass - Giant Prostatic Hypertrophy (GPH). Nephrogenic adenomas are benign lesions of the urinary tract that are believed to represent the local proliferation of shed renal tubular cells implanting at sites of urothelia...
