Both the initial prostate size and percentage volume reduction at 3 months predict good symptomatic outcome at 12 months. These findings therefore aid patient selection and counselling to achieve optimal outcomes for men undergoing prostate artery embolisation.
CT angiography prior to embolisation reliably predicts the arterial anatomy and facilitates procedural planning. Therefore, it should be a considered as a pre-procedural investigation for patients undergoing prostate artery embolisation. Sensitivity is low for predicting anastomoses, so careful periprocedural evaluation of the target vessels is still required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
