This is a prospective, open label post market study to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) using Embosphere Microspheres. Up to 1,000 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) will be enrolled in this single arm post market study. All patients at sites who meet eligibility criteria will be offered participation. Long term effectiveness of PAE on LUTS will be evaluated by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at baseline, 3 months, 12 months, 24 months and 36 months. Safety will be assessed by evaluating treatment related adverse events at the same time points, plus at 4 weeks following embolization. Erectile function will be assessed at baseline and 12 months by Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score. Additional treatments for refractory or recurrent LUTS due to BPH post prostatic artery embolization will also be recorded.

The hypothesis of this study is that focal treatment with ExAblate MRgFUS has the potential to be an effective non-invasive treatment for intermediate risk, organ-confined prostate lesions, with a low incidence of morbidity. The study hypothesis will be tested by measuring treatment-related safety and initial effectiveness parameters in the ExAblate MRgFUS treated patients, as described above.

This study is active, but not recruiting participants.
A prospective, multi-center, single-arm study, planned in 110 patients. The primary objective of the study is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy system (TULSA-PRO) intended to ablate prostate tissue of patients with localized, organ-confined prostate cancer.

This study is active, but not recruiting participants.
This is a pilot, feasibility/exploratory study to evaluate the safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) using Visualase in the focal treatment of localized prostate cancer as well as to gather data for the design of future studies.
