Abstract
Benign prostatic obstruction (BPH) is a common disease with male and surgical treatment is the gold standard for symptomatic disease. Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is one of emerging therapies which aims to minimize the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of BPH and volume of enlarged prostate. We reported here a case of 100-year-old man with 90 cm3 prostate and severe symptoms secondary to BPH, who underwent a successful PAE through distal transradial access without any complication. The patient satisfied with this treatment and no symptoms recurrence after PAE. It demonstrated that PAE was a safe and effective treatment for BPH and was indicated in elderly/ non-surgical candidate.
