Investigation of Prostate Artery Embolization Compared to Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate
Sponsor: University of Miami
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate prostate artery embolization (PAE) compared to Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) in improving a patient's overall prostate related symptoms.
Official title: Prospective, Non-Randomized, Controlled Investigation of Prostate Artery Embolization Compared to Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate for the Treatment of Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Prostate Glands Larger Than 80 Grams

Conditions
Interventions
Embosphere Microspheres
The SOC PAE procedure will be performed by attempting to embolize prostatic arteries of both sides in a single session with 300-500 um Embosphere Microspheres. The microspheres will be mixed with a contrast agent and will be delivered to the arteries supplying the prostate via a microcatheter.
HoLEP Procedure
The SOC PAE procedure will be performed with the SOC HoLEP as per standard institutional guidelines. The HoLEP procedure involves passing a telescope through the urethra and removing the central part of the prostate gland using a laser.
