Repeat Prostatic Artery Embolization

This is a single-center retrospective analysis of 3 patients (mean age, 61 y ± 8.6) who underwent repeat prostatic artery (PA) embolization (PAE; rPAE) because of clinical failure after PAE. Revascularization of the central gland through a recanalized PA was the most frequent pattern observed (5 of 7; 71.4%), followed by revascularization through penile collateral vessels ( 2 of 7; 28.6%). Technical success during rPAE was achieved in 5 hemiprostates (83.3%). Clinical success at 6 months after rPAE was achieved in 2 of 3 patients (66.6%).
