New hope for men stuck with catheters: study tests two ways to restore urination

NCT ID NCT04006431

Summary

This study looked at two versions of a procedure called prostate artery embolization. It involved 50 elderly men who had long-term urinary catheters due to an enlarged prostate and couldn't have surgery. Researchers compared whether blocking arteries on one side or both sides of the prostate was more effective at helping men urinate on their own again and improving their comfort.
