Abstract
Objective
To estimate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in the treatment of refractory hematuria of prostatic origin (RHPO).
Methods
This retrospective study included 23 patients who underwent TAE for RHPO between May 2013 and August 2021. Technical and clinical success rates were calculated, and arteriogram findings and complications were detected.
Results
Embolization was performed 24 times in 23 patients. Technical success was achieved in 24/24 (100%) embolization procedures. Contrast agent extravasation was detected during 2 of the 24 angiographic procedures. Bilateral embolization was performed in 23 (95.8%) of the 24 procedures. The clinical success rate was 21/23 (91.3%), and hematuria stopped 1–4 days after TAE. No serious complications were observed.
Conclusion
TAE is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique for treating patients with RHPO.
