Can hyperplastic prostate follow uterine fibroids and be managed with transcatheter arterial embolization?
Abstract
Sun et al used pigs to evaluate transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) as a potential treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although more data regarding the effectiveness, durability, and side effects of TAE are needed, it may prove to be competitive with other accepted forms of treatment.
