Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the Transarterial Supraselective Embolization of the Prostate to Treat the Urinary Symptoms.

May 4, 2018 updated by: Fundacion Miguel Servet

A Randomised Clinical Trial to Compare Efficacy and Safety of the Transarterial Supraselective Embolization of the Prostate Compared Versus the Transurethral Resection of the Prostate to Treat the Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the transarterial supraselective embolization (TSE) is a technique as effective as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
