摘要
Benign prostatic hyperplasia represents one of the most common diseases in men and is often associated with lower urinary tract symptoms due to the prostatic obstruction (LUTS/BPO), with more than 50% of men already affected by the age of 60. If benign prostatic syndrome (BPS) does not respond adequately to drug therapy, surgical intervention is recommended. Due to the morbidity of surgical methods, a number of minimally invasive procedures have been developed, including prostatic artery embolization (PAE). To date, a lack of reliable medium- to long-term follow-up data has been raised as a major disadvantage of PAE. In a randomized controlled trial performed in St. Gallen, Switzerland, the authors showed that a reduction in LUTS/BPO can be detected even 24 months after PAE and that PAE is associated with significantly fewer adverse events compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, improvements in patient-reported outcomes and functional parameters are more pronounced after TURP. PAE is therefore not a definitive treatment for a relevant proportion of patients. This should be considered in patient selection and counseling. In summary, PAE represents an option for men seeking minimally invasive treatment and accepting outcomes inferior to those of more invasive surgical treatments. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, ein Teil von Springer Nature.
