Core Tip
Core Tip: Prostatic artery embolization is a technique for treating certain patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia that although controversial is gaining traction. We utilized bibliometric review to investigate the current landscape of the literature on this topic. Based on the publication trends in the most influential papers on this topic it appears that urologists may be starting to recognize the merits of the procedure. Additionally, this procedure has an international appeal with literature being published out of a wide variety of countries in radiology and urology journals alike.
