METHODS: We analysed 344 patients undergoing PAE at our institution between Jan. 2017 and Jan. 2022 in a retrospective, monocentric, questionnaire-based study. Minimum follow up time was 12 months, with a median follow-up of 37 months. The questionnaire included information on complications, satisfaction, second intervention, histology and IPSS. RESULTS: We analyzed the data of 156 out of 344 patients who consented to participate in the study. The mean age was 66 years, median PSA was 3,7 ng/ml, median prostate volume was 70 ml [54, 91], the median IPSS score was 27. The median post-void residual volume (PVR) was 50ml. The median change in the IPSS after the first PAE was 8 points. Preoperative, 5 patients had an indwelling urinary catheter, from them, 4 (80%) had a second intervention after the PAE.We found a significant correlation (p<0.05) between PAE failure and higher patient age, preoperative urinary retention, and smaller prostate volume. In total, 44 patients (28.2%) have either undergone or are scheduled for a second intervention. Among the 35 patients who underwent a second operation, 13 patients (37.1%) had a holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP), 11 patients (31.4%) had a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), 4 patients (11.4%) had a second PAE, 3 patients (8.6%) had a Rezūm, 3 patients (8.6%) had a simple open Prostatectomy, and 1 patient (2.9%) underwent Aquablation 5 from 27 (18.5%) patients who underwent a histological evaluation had an incidental prostate cancer (iPCa), 4 had a Gleason score of 3+3 and 1 had a Gleason score of 4+3. In Figure 1, we analyzed the IPSS score after the second operation. The findings revealed that both HOLEP and TURP demonstrated a significant improvement in the IPSS (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PAE has a significant failure rate, about 30% of patients underwent a second intervention after PAE. Ablative interventions are more effective as a second-line therapy compared to non-ablative options. Limited data suggests that Aquablation can lead to a reduction of 30 points in IPSS and it's worth noting that a second PAE may be a potential option.Additionally, the incidence rate of iPCa after BPH surgery in our study was 18%, which aligns with rates observed in other studies.
