Percutaneous Fluoroscopically Guided Salvage of Misplaced Perirectal ¹²⁵I Prostate Seeds—Easy Way Out

Permanent prostate implants are widely used as therapy for localized prostate cancer. Transperineal placement of ¹²⁵I seeds can be directed safely by transrectal ultrasound imaging. Misplaced seeds can produce serious damage in various organs, especially in the rectal mucosa. The rescue of misplaced seeds can be performed with open surgery or with minimally invasive percutaneous intervention. We report a case of percutaneous fluoroscopically guided salvage of misplaced perirectal ¹²⁵I prostate customized stranded seeds using an interventional angiographic catheter.
