Bagla and his team examined the cases of 78 patients who underwent
prostate artery embolization for BPH as part of the clinicians» routine practice.
«Nonsurgical treatment for enlarged prostate remains effective for years: Prostate
artery embolization relieves urinary symptoms of BPH without causing major side effects.»
«Prostate
artery embolization offers these patients an effective treatment that results in reduced risk of bleeding, urinary incontinence or impotence, compared to other BPH therapies, offering patients a better quality of life,» he added.
Between March 2007 and March 2016, Pisco and his team performed prostate
artery embolization on 1,000 men who averaged 67 years of age.
«Prostate
artery embolization gives men with BPH a treatment option that is less invasive than other therapies and allows them to return to their normal lives sooner,» said João Martins Pisco, M.D., an interventional radiologist at St. Louis Hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, and the study's lead author.
If medications aren't effective, you may need to undergo a more invasive procedure, such as
uterine artery embolization, which eliminates fibroids by cutting off blood flow to them, or a myomectomy (surgical removal).
Using an interventional radiology treatment known as
prostate artery embolization (PAE), clinicians were able to improve patient symptoms, regardless of the size of BPH before the treatment, researchers found in a retrospective study.
Late postpartum hemorrhage due to von Willebrand disease managed with uterine
artery embolization.
If the bleeding continues, treatment options include additional medications, an intrauterine balloon, which inflates within the uterus putting pressure on bleeding vessels; uterine
artery embolization, which blocks blood supply to the uterus; and hysterectomy.
Uterine
artery embolization, a minimally invasive interventional radiologic technique that has been shown in randomized trials to result in quality of life that is similar to that after surgery, with shorter hospital stays and less time to resumption of usual activities.
This study of 1,000 men is the largest of its kind to evaluate the long - term effectiveness of prostate
artery embolization (PAE).
In prostate
artery embolization, a catheter is inserted into the femoral artery and guided to the prostate artery on both sides of the enlarged gland.
Her interests include treatment of uterine fibroids with MRgFUS and uterine
artery embolization, pelvic congestion syndrome, treatment of patients with invasive placenta of the uterus, IVC filters, thrombolysis, and treatment of dialysis graft dysfunction.
One, called uterine
artery embolization, involves injecting particles into the arteries supplying blood to the fibroids to block them.
Fibroids can be eliminated by ultrasound surgery, uterine
artery embolization (in which the blood supply to the fibroid is cut off), having them shaved off during surgery, hysterectomy, and other methods.
An alternative is prostate
artery embolization.
