Abstract
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) has been shown to have high clinical success rates in the short, medium, and long term. However, some patients will require a repeat procedure due to technical failure or recurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after initial success. This patient population presents with a unique set of challenges and considerations when performing PAE, which will be highlighted in this chapter.
