Abstract
The review presents an analysis of literature on the use of prostate artery embolization (PAE) in elderly and older patients. The main question is the effectiveness of this method of treatment in older age groups with prostatic hyperplasia. Based on the review, it can be concluded that PAE is a promising treatment method for benign prostatic hyperplasia, showing clear positive results. PAE can be used in patients with contraindications to other types of surgical procedures, while PAE outcomes are either better or not worse than traditional methods of treatment. However, at present time, the long-term efficacy of PAE has not been evaluated well enough and further research on this issue is needed. Keywords: prostate artery embolization, benign prostatic hyperplasia, elderly and older age
