| Popis: | Giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH) is a rare pathology traditionally treated with an open suprapubic prostatectomy. This procedure is risky, and fatal hemorrhagic complications can occur. Often, patients with GPH present with diminished renal function due to obstructive nephropathy, making them unfit for less invasive endovascular therapies using traditional contrast agents. Here we present a case of a patient with intractable hematuria due to GPH, as well as diminished renal function, who was successfully treated using prostatic artery embolization with CO2 digital subtraction arteriography as a contrast agent. |
