Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1 - Prymary Endpoint <br>The primary endpoint is the evaluation in urodynamics parameters based on maximum flow rate (Qmax) and detrusor pressure on Qmax (PdetQmax) within 12 months. We hope PAE will be a inferior method compared to surgery. The PAE group would reach inferior improvement in Qmax (3-4 ml/sec) compared to the surgery group (> 5 ml/sec).<br>This analysis will be made by a t-test comparing groups in 2 times: pre operative and 6 months post operative. We expect there is statistical difference after treatments in Qmax and PdetQmax comparing groups, with significant p.<br><br>The sample calculation was done considering the improvement in Qmax (media and standard deviation of 3 ml.second), accounting 23 patients to each arm.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
2 - Secondary Endpoint<br>The secondary endpoint is the evaluation of IPSS and Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires, comparing groups in 2 times: pre operative and 6 months post operative. We expect no differences in groups when analysed this clinical criteria, with a non significant p (through a t-test). We hope all patients will reach IPSS < 8 (mild symptoms) after treatments. ;3 - Secondary Endpoint<br>In 6 months post operative, the patients in PAE arm will be submitted to a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. The role of this exam is to measure the prostate shrinkage after embolisation, comparing to pre operative. The analysis will be made through a t-test.
