3:00 PM Abstract No. 62 Advantages of using cone-beam computed tomography over digital subtraction angiography to identify prostatic arteries in prostatic artery embolization
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is standardly used to identify prostatic arteries during PAE, a complex task due to pelvic vascular anatomy variability (1), and an essential one given its impact on clinical outcome (2). More recently, cone-beam CT (CBCT) has been encouraged to allow identification of all vessels going to the prostate gland and their exact origin, without projection limitations due to the two-dimensional nature of DSAs (3). In this work we compare them to understand some advantages of using CBCT in PAE.
