Objectives  To perform a  post hoc  analysis of in‐hospital costs incurred in a randomized controlled trial comparing prostatic artery embolization ( PAE ) and transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP ).    Patients and Methods  In‐hospital costs arising from  PAE  and  TURP  were calculated using detailed expenditure reports provided by the hospital accounts department. Total costs, including those arising from surgical and interventional procedures, consumables, personnel and accommodation, were analysed for all of the study participants and compared between  PAE  and  TURP  using descriptive analysis and two‐sided  t ‐tests, adjusted for unequal variance within groups (Welch  t ‐test).    Results  The mean total costs per patient (± sd ) were higher for  TURP , at €9137 ± 3301, than for  PAE , at €8185 ± 1630. The mean difference of €952 was not statistically significant ( P  = 0.07). While the mean procedural costs were significantly higher for  PAE  (mean difference €623 [ P  = 0.009]), costs apart from the procedure were significantly lower for  PAE , with a mean difference of €1627 ( P  < 0.001). Procedural costs of €1433 ± 552 for  TURP  were mainly incurred by anaesthesia, whereas €2590 ± 628 for medical supplies were the main cost factor for  PAE .    Conclusions  Since in‐hospital costs are similar but  PAE  and  TURP  have different efficacy and safety profiles, the patient's clinical condition and expectations – rather than finances – should be taken into account when deciding between  PAE  and  TURP .
