IR Juniors PROSTATE ARTERY EMBOLISATION IRBITES WHAT IS IT? Enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS); urinary frequency and nocturia. Prostate artery embolisation (PAE) is an effective outpatient procedure for BPH performed in IR under local anaesthetic. There are alternative surgical options performed under general anaesthetic like transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). PAE has a lower peri-operative side-effect profile and a shorter hospital stay and can also be used to embolise in prostatic haemorrhage. DIAGNOSIS MANAGEMENT Examination CT or MR Angiography Ultrasound rID: 2586 Selective embolisation of prostatic arteries with small particles MRI Gelatin microspheres Hydrogel microspheres Non-spherical polyvinyl alcohol particles International prostate symptom score (IPSS) for BPH Eight questions giving a total sympyom severity score out of 35: 0-7 mildly symptomatic IRBITE 8-19 moderately symptomatic 20-35 severely symptomatic Interventional Radiology Curriculum for Medical Students T2 MRI courtesy of Assoc Prof Frank Gaillard, Radiopaedia.org, rID: 2586 IR Bites is a 12 part teaching series for medical students and junior doctors of any grade who want to learn more about interventional radiology.
