Transrectal elastographic monitoring of the transurethral balloon pressure in urethral dilation for catheter-dependent patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia

Conclusions Preliminary results indicate that prostatic urethral balloon dilation in BPH catheter-dependent patients is inexpensive, safe, and would be a potentially effective option in maintaining the prostatic urethral patency. Elastographic justification of the transurethral balloon has proved to be helpful.
