Complications of prostate enlargement include:
- Urinary retention.

What is the Treatment of Prostate Enlargement with Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiology treatment is one of the modern and advanced non-surgical treatments for prostate enlargement, serving as an alternative to prostate removal or other surgical prostate procedures.
Interventional radiology treatment is effective in relieving troublesome symptoms of prostate enlargement by blocking the arteries that supply the gland, causing it to shrink, allowing for the restoration of normal urinary flow.
In this procedure, a thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the thigh artery, then directed into the blood vessels supplying the prostate, and injected with special materials, resulting in the contraction of the prostate gland.

Brain arteries can expand abnormally and bulge to form bubble-like structures, and several factors may play a role in increasing the likelihood of occurrence
Neck arteries are part of the blood vessels that supply the brain with the necessary blood, carrying oxygen-rich blood.
