Abstract

As prostate artery embolization (PAE) for treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia becomes more commonly performed, operator knowledge of the adverse events is essential to inform patient selection, patient preparation, and postprocedural management. The aim of this article is to discuss the incidence, presentation, and management of adverse effects after PAE.

Keywords: BPH; Prostate artery embolization; angiography.
