Prostatic Artery Embolization: Variant Origins and Collaterals

Andrew J Richardson et al. Tech Vasc Interv Radiol. 2020 Sep.

Abstract

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia associated lower urinary tract symptoms. The prostatic arterial anatomy, origins and collaterals, are highly variable and can lead to technical pitfalls and suboptimal results during PAE. In this paper we aim to discuss the variant prostate artery origins and collateral circulation to provide a primer on relevant anatomy for interventional radiologists performing PAE.

Keywords: BPH; PAE; Prostatic artery embolization.
