Among the subset of patients with prostate size larger than 90g, baseline
characteristics were similar to those of the entire Composite group, other
than gland volume.

* 12 of 95 patients (12.6%) had indwelling bladder catheters at baseline
Symptoms improved in this cohort post embolization at all time points,
and a minimum 3-point reduction and drop of at least one symptom
category in IPSS was achieved by 96% and 89% of patients respectively.

Mean quality of life scores also improved and prostate size demonstrated
a reduction at each evaluation point, consistent with the reduced lower
urinary tract symptoms.

The difference in size of the prostates relative to the entire Composite
group did not impact technical success of embolization. Over 90% of
patients underwent bilateral embolization.

Patients with indwelling catheters at baseline tended to be older than the
Composite population as a whole, and the catheters led to unhappy to
quality of life scores categorized as terrible.

Baseline IPSS data were not analyzed for patients with indwelling catheters
because their acute urinary retention made questions about urination
habits moot. Consequently, no analyses of the proportions of patients
whose symptoms improved from baseline could be conducted.
Post embolization, patients went from inability to answer IPSS questions
to being only mildly symptomatic, and quality of life scores improved
from categorization of unhappy to terrible at baseline to pleased after
treatment.
