Prostate Artery Embolization

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

Effective, Non-Surgical Solution for Enlarged Prostate

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) offers a breakthrough solution for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This minimally invasive procedure aims to alleviate the troublesome urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Unlike traditional surgical methods, PAE minimizes risks and side effects, including the preservation of sexual function, which is a significant concern for many men considering prostate treatments.

‍Prostate Artery Embolization Procedure
‍During the PAE procedure, a tiny catheter is inserted into an artery in the leg and guided to the arteries supplying blood to the prostate. Once in place, tiny particles are injected to reduce blood flow to the prostate, leading to its gradual shrinkage. This outpatient procedure, performed under twilight sedation, ensures a quick recovery and minimal downtime.

‍‍Who is a BPH candidate?

• Men over the age of 50
• Men who have an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia-BPH)
• Men with slow flow of urine or slowed ejaculation
• Men who get up at least 3 times during nighttime to use the bathroom

The benefits of PAE can last up to 4-6 years, providing relief without the need for repeated treatments. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including minor blood in the urine and bruising at the catheter insertion site.
