As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra and block the flow of urine. PAE works by reducing blood flow to the enlarged prostate, causing it to shrink and relieving pressure on the urinary tract.

During the procedure:

• A small catheter is inserted through an artery in the upper thigh/groin.
• Using imaging guidance, our board-certified vascular surgeon navigates to the arteries that supply blood to the prostate.
• Tiny particles or coils are injected to block these arteries, reducing blood flow and shrinking the prostate.

Why Choose PAE?

• Minimally invasive: No incisions or general anesthesia
• Quick recovery: Patients go home within a few hours
• Fewer side effects: Lower risk of sexual dysfunction and incontinence compared to traditional surgery
• Effective relief: Improves symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, and urgency

PAE is a great option for men who want to avoid surgery or are not candidates for it due to other health conditions
