Abstract:
Objective To investigate the origin of prostatic blood-supply by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and provide references for the arterial embolization of prostatic hyperplasia. Methods A total of 72 male patients with successful selective and super-selective prostatic arterial catheterization angiographies were observed and recorded the original arterial blood-supply of the prostate, number of the prostatic arteries and the predominant blood supply. Results The blood-supply of prostate is very complicated including the original prostatic arterial supply from the inferior vesicle arteries (69); the internal iliac arteries (63); the internal pudendal arteries (52); the inferior rectum arteries (29); the superior vesicle arteries (14). The predominant arterial supply include the internal iliac arteries (37); the inferior vesicle arteries (20); the internal pudendal arteries (6) and the inferior rectum arteries (2). Conclusion Arterial contrast medium angiography can correctly demonstrate and assess the original arterial supply of prostate, providing significant guidance for further interventional embolization.
