Identification of the prostatic arteries (PAs) is one of the most challenging aspects of prostate artery embolization for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia-associated lower urinary tract symptoms. Operators require a detailed understanding of the prostate arterial anatomy to ensure technical and clinical success with minimal complications. Due to substantial variability in internal iliac artery branch patterns and specifically the origin of the PA, we focus on 3 clinically relevant classification systems used to categorize the pelvic vasculature. These include classification systems to understand the internal iliac artery branching pattern, PA origin variation, and intraprostatic branching.
识别前列腺动脉（PAs）是前列腺动脉栓塞治疗良性前列腺增生相关下尿路症状的最具挑战性的方面之一。操作人员需要详细了解前列腺动脉解剖结构，以确保在最小化并发症的情况下实现技术和临床成功。由于髂内动脉分支模式和前列腺动脉起源存在很大的可变性，我们重点介绍了 3 种用于分类盆腔血管的临床相关分类系统。这些系统包括理解髂内动脉分支模式、前列腺动脉起源变化和前列腺内分支的分类系统。
