Table 3 Comparison of outcome parameters for the two groups (intentionally unilateral prostatic artery embolization group vs control)

	IU-PAE (n = 13)	Control (n = 30)	P value
Percentage of prostatic infarction¹ (mean ± SD, %)	36.1 ± 16.0	33.1 ± 14.5	0.478
PV reduction² (mean ± SD, %)	28.0 ± 12.5	32.9 ± 9.6	0.065
IPSS reduction² (mean ± SD, %)	58.0 ± 16.3	56.6 ± 22.3	0.819
Clinical success rate² (%)	84.6	90.0	0.995
Complications³ - proportion of pts	2/13	7/30	0.555

¹Calculated within the first week post prostatic artery embolization.

²Calculated 3 months post prostatic artery embolization (prostate volume and international prostate symptom score reduction was defined in comparison to baseline measurement).

³Only minor complications were observed.

IU-PAE: Intentionally unilateral prostatic artery embolization; PV: Prostate volume; IPSS: International prostate symptom score.
