Abstract :
To present a case of recurrent gross hematuria after transurethral resection of the prostate that was refractory
to endoscopic and open hemostatic interventions at the bladder neck and prostatic fossa. After performing
angiographic evaluation of the pelvic vessels and finding the pseudoaneurysm, percutaneous embolization of
arterial supply of the pseudoaneurysm was done. The location and type of lesion were successfully determined by
angiography and controlled by angio-embolization of the internal pudendal artery. It seems that angiography can
be helpful in the diagnosis and management of refractory bleeding after prostatectomy.
