PG - 1686-1697.e8 LID - S1051-0443(16)30439-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jvir.2016.08.004 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To perform meta-analysis of available data on prostatic artery embolization (PAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Meta-analysis was conducted on articles published between November 2009 and December 2015. Peer-reviewed studies with > 5 patients and standard deviations and/or individual-level data on one or more of the following outcomes were included: prostate volume (PV), peak flow rate (Qmax), postvoid residual (PVR), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) score, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed on the outcomes at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PAE compared with baseline values, with a P < .05 decision rule as the null hypothesis rejection criterion. RESULTS: Nineteen of 268 studies were included in data collection, with 6 included in the meta-analysis. At 12 months, PV decreased by 31.31 cm(3) (P < .001), PSA remained unchanged (P = .248), PVR decreased by 85.54 mL (P < .001), Qmax increased by 5.39 mL/s (P < .001), IPSS improved by 20.39 points (P < .001), QOL score improved by -2.49 points (P < .001), and IIEF was unchanged (P = 1.0). There were a total of 218 adverse events (AEs) among 662 patients (32.93%), with 216 being Society of Interventional Radiology class A/B (99%). The most common complications were rectalgia/dysuria (n = 60; 9.0%) and acute urinary retention (n = 52; 7.8%). No class D/E complications were reported. CONCLUSIONS: PAE provided improvement in Qmax, PVR, IPSS, and QOL endpoints at 12 months, with a low incidence of serious AEs (0.3%), although minor AEs were common (32.93%). There was no adverse effect on erectile function. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 SIR. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
