Rare Origin of the Prostatic Artery from the Superior Rectal Artery

JVIR

Complete, bilateral prostatic artery embolization (PAE) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) results in better clinical outcomes than unilateral PAE (1). Prostatic artery selection during PAE can be challenging using angiography alone, and an understanding of the arterial anatomy is important for successful embolization. Prostatic artery origins are variable but almost exclusively arise from the anterior division of the internal iliac arteries (2).
