Summary

This study focuses on the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia which causes lower urinary tract symptoms. The purpose of the research project is to evaluate PAE in terms of both medical and health economic outcomes. To evaluate whether there are any differences in effect (IPSS), complications, costs and perceived quality of life compared with TUR-P.

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
PROCEDUREProstate Artery EmbolizationProstate Artery Embolization (PAE) is performed by experienced interventional radiologists. The method involves catheterization of the prostate vessels superselectively with two to three French microcatheters. PAE is performed with microspheres of 250 to 400 µm in size.
PROCEDURETransurethral Prostate Resection (TURP)Under general/regional anesthesia, a resectoscope is inserted into the urethra that carries an electric metal loop (monopolar or bipolar diathermy) that is used to cut and extract the prostate tissue.
