NCT ID:
NCT00662350
Brief Summary:
To measure intra-prostatic temperatures and evaluate the shape and size of necrotic lesions achieved under the standard treatment protocol in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Detailed Description:
The Wallterm System provides minimally invasive treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) via a high temperature, liquid filled, balloon thermotherapy. The catheter is composed of a silicone positioning balloon which anchors the catheter against the bladder neck. The multi-layer silicone treatment balloon may be adjusted to fit short (20-35mm) and long (40-55mm) prostates and is inflated (to approximately 650-700 mmHg / 20-22mm diameter) to ensure tight tissue contact and reduced blood perfusion. The handle contains the heating element and the liquid circulation mechanisms
