Journal ArticleDOI
Medium- and Long-Term Outcome of Prostate Artery Embolization for Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Results in 630 Patients.
João Pisco,Tiago Bilhim,Luís Campos Pinheiro,Lúcia Fernandes,José António Sousa Pereira,Nuno Vasco Costa,Marisa Duarte,António G. Oliveira +7 more
TL;DR: PAE had a positive effect on IPSS, QOL, and all objective outcomes in symptomatic BPH, and there was a statistically significant change from baseline to last observed value in all clinical parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of Clinical Outcome after Prostate Artery Embolization with Spherical and Nonspherical Polyvinyl Alcohol Particles in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Tiago Bilhim,João Pisco,José Pereira,Nuno Vasco Costa,Lúcia Fernandes,Luís Campos Pinheiro,Marisa Duarte,António G. Oliveira +7 more
TL;DR: The PSA level 24 hours after PAE correlated with prostate ischemia, and both correlated with clinical outcome, and younger age, bilateral PAE, lower baseline IPSS, and acute urinary retention were predictors of better clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and Efficacy of Prostatic Artery Chemoembolization for Prostate Cancer-Initial Experience.
João Pisco,Tiago Bilhim,Nuno Vasco Costa,Manuel Pinto Ribeiro,Lúcia Fernandes,António G. Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: Prostatic artery chemoembolization allowed a biochemical response in patients with localized PCa and is a promising treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous Pregnancy with a Live Birth after Conventional and Partial Uterine Fibroid Embolization.
João Pisco,Marisa Duarte,Tiago Bilhim,Jorge Branco,Fernando Cirurgião,Marcela Forjaz,Lúcia Fernandes,José Pereira,Nuno Vasco Costa,J.M. Pisco,António G. Oliveira +10 more
TL;DR: Conventional and partial UFE may be safe and effective outpatient procedures for women with uterine fibroids who want to conceive and are not greater than rates in patients treated with conventional UFE.
Book ChapterDOI
Surgical Treatment: Prostate Artery Embolization
TL;DR: Prostate artery embolization (PAE) induces peri-urethral prostate tissue necrosis relieving the urethral obstruction with an overall reduction in prostate size associated with lower smooth muscle tone, leading to symptomatic relief and increase of peak urinary flowrate in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
