Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in catheter-dependent patients with large prostatic (BPH) glands ( > 90 cc): early intervention essential.

CONCLUSION: PAE is very successful in allowing spontaneous voiding in men with obstructing BPH requiring a urethral catheter. However, the PAE should be performed as soon as possible after the urethral catheter is inserted. Direct referral from acute urology services or emergency departments once the catheter is inserted are warranted. PMID: 30845814 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
