Summary

This trial tests a device called the ProVee expander, which is placed in the prostate to relieve urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). It involves about 40 men over 45 who have moderate to severe symptoms and have not found relief from medication. The study checks how safely and accurately the device is placed and whether it reduces the need for a urinary catheter.
