Abstract
- Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a promising new treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It has therefore garnered much interest in the interventional community. This article will review the scientific background for this therapy, describe the current devices available for treatment, and state the position of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) with regard to the study and potential adoption of this therapy.
