The purpose of this registry is verifying the continued safety and effectiveness of the Optilume DCB clinical use in patients undergoing dilation of the urethral stricture.
After being informed about the registry and potential risks, all patients providing written informed consent will undergo urethral dilation using the Optilume Drug Coated Balloon (standard of care procedure). At 3, 6, 12 months, and annually 2 to 5 years after treatment patients will be invited to return to the hospital and several assessments will be performed, including questionnaires, if this is part of their standard care.

Responder Rate at 12 Months
The responder rate is defined as the proportion of subjects experiencing a ≥30% improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) without repeat intervention for the study stricture. The responder rate at 12 months post-treatment will be compared against a performance goal of 60%. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) (score 0-7 = mild; score 8-19 = mediate; score 20-35 = severe complaints) was chosen as the primary patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for follow-up due to its inclusion in the EAU guidelines, its long history of use, its inclusion as the primary PROM in the ROBUST clinical program, and the availability of literature describing clinically meaningful improvement in the setting of bladder outlet obstruction.
Time frame: 12 months
Rate of Treatment Related Serious Adverse Events at 3 months
The primary safety endpoint is defined as the proportion of subjects experiencing a treatment related Serious Adverse Event (SAE) through 3 months post-treatment. The primary safety endpoint will be analyzed with descriptive statistics and nominal 95% confidence interval. No single event type is expected to happen with greater frequency than other endoscopic therapies, therefore any event that meets the definition of an SAE and is considered treatment related will be included in the endpoint.
Time frame: 3 months
Frequency and Severity of Treatment Related Adverse Events
The proportion of subjects experiencing treatment related adverse events will be summarized by event type and severity as graded by the Clavien-Dindo scale. 'Treatment Related' consists of events deemed Possible, Probable, or Definite in relation to the Optilume® DCB or the dilation procedure.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
Freedom from Repeat Intervention
Defined as freedom from any reintervention for the stricture treated during the index procedure, including but not limited to: * Urethroplasty * Dilation with sounds, bougies, balloon, etc. * Direct vision internal urethrotomy * Dilation with the Optilume® DCB * Intermittent self-dilation / Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) * Indwelling catheter (urethral or suprapubic) * Urethral stent

Anatomic Evaluation
Outcomes related to anatomic recurrence of the stricture will be summarized via descriptive statistics. Anatomic recurrence will be defined as urethral lumen \<14F measured by the inability to pass a flexible cystoscope or as measured via urethrogram. Outcomes will be reported as those free from stricture recurrence utilizing both definitions, as well as reported separately for those undergoing cystoscopy and those undergoing urethrography.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
