Abstract:

Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) has the advantage of safety and efficacy compared to the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).However, due to various operational challenges and difficulties that remain to be discussed and resolved with this treatment approach, PAE does not hold a high priority in treatment options.Numerous scholars have conducted extensive research to solve these problems of PAE and improve clinical benefits.By extensively reviewing relevant literature reports on PAE for BPH, this paper comprehensively discusses and summarizes the difficulties encountered during PAE procedures, post-surgery,and in long-term follow-ups.

Key words: Prostate arterial embolization, Benign prostatic hyperplasia, Lower urinary tract symptoms, Intravascular therapy, Embolization
