Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of performing prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with a transradial approach (TRA). Nineteen consecutive PAEs performed using a TRA were reviewed to determine the technical success of the procedure, which was defined as bilateral embolization. Procedural details, complications, and limitations were recorded. Technical success was achieved in all 19 procedures. The associated complications were minor and included two small (< 5 cm) hematomas and one potential case of delayed radial arteritis. PAE performed with a TRA is technically feasible.
