Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with medicine to help men with moderate-to-severe urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. The balloon is placed inside the prostate and inflated to open the blocked area, releasing the drug to keep it open. 80 men took part, and researchers checked if their symptoms improved by at least 40% after 3 months, with follow-up lasting up to 5 years.
