Comparing two embolization methods for enlarged prostate symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments—using a special glue versus tiny beads—to block arteries and shrink an enlarged prostate. It aims to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man aged 50 to 80.
- Your prostate must be enlarged (at least 40 ml) and cause moderate to severe symptoms.
- You must have tried prostate medication (like tamsulosin or similar) without enough relief or with side effects.
- You must not have severe bladder damage, kidney swelling, or recent cancer diagnosis.
- You must not have an active urinary infection or be in another clinical study.

This trial compares artery embolization (blocking blood flow to the prostate) with standard surgery for urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe bladder outlet symptoms and are looking for a treatment option when medicine didn’t work (or they don’t want medicine).
This trial tests a new device designed to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as frequent or difficult urination. It may help improve urine flow and reduce discomfort without traditional surgery.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries to treat a very enlarged prostate (BPH) when medicines are not enough. It aims to see which approach gives better relief for men with large prostates.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that remove extra prostate tissue to help with urination problems. It may help if other treatments haven't worked.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate that is blocking urine flow. It aims to see which method—Rezūm (water vapor therapy) or EchoLaser (laser using ultrasound guidance)—better relieves urinary symptoms and improves quality of life.
This study compares two common procedures for treating an enlarged prostate, a condition where the prostate grows and blocks urine flow. One procedure removes part of the prostate through the urethra, while the other blocks the blood supply to shrink it.
