Prostate Arterial Embolization (PAE) Research Studies
The following research studies suggest PAE is one of the most promising interventions for BPH.
Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is evolving as a preferred therapy for addressing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).This groundbreaking treatment option helps patients who need long-term relief from persistent BPH symptoms.
PAE is considered the most advanced modality for managing BPH as an outpatient procedure with short recovery times.
There is extensive research literature supporting the procedure's effectiveness. Here are some studies that clarify the merits of PAE.
- Boston Medical Center Urology
This report evaluates the efficacy of PAE as a treatment option for patients enduring severe BPH-related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). It finds PAE a successful intervention for a diverse patient pool, including patients who have not experienced significant symptom relief from medications and are not candidates for surgery. - Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology
This study examined non-surgical treatment outcomes for BPH. PAE was discovered to have few adverse reactions relative to other BPH treatments, which included bleeding complications. - Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology
In this study, PAE was found to be beneficial for patients with coexisting conditions that prohibit invasive procedures. - The Lancet
This study found that PAE was more effective than medications at reducing urinary symptoms. - Turkish Journal of Urology
