Prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure developed in the recent years. Recent studies reported clinical applications of PAE in the treatment of BPH, and its safety and efficacy was confirmed. For the basic theory research, some scholars have made preliminary animal experiments in beagle dogs and pigs.To the best of our knowledge, there is no longitudinal study regarding BPH morphological and functional characteristics of BPH in different periods after PAE with multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI).
