Abstract
The prostate-specific antigen level 24 hours after prostate artery embolization correlates with prostate ischemia on MR images, and both correlate with clinical outcome. PurposeTo assess predictors of outcome after prostate artery embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia with spherical particle polyvinyl alcohol (sPVA) and compare outcomes with the use of nonspherical particle polyvinyl alcohol (nsPVA).Materials and MethodsThis was a single-center retrospective institutional review board–approved study conducted from 2009 to 2015 in patients undergoing PAE with sPVA (n = 186; mean age ± standard deviation, 65.5 years ± 7.7) and nsPVA (n = 300; mean age, 65.3 years ± 7.6). The two cohorts were compared and analyzed for predictors of outcome with a Cox proportional hazards model and linear regression. Post-PAE prostate ischemia was measured with contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in 23 patients with nsPVA and 25 patients with sPVA. The 24-hour post-PAE prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was registered in 133 patients with sPVA. Prognostic values of MR imaging and PSA levels 24 hours after PAE were assessed with Cox and random-effects re...Keywords
