If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a non-cancerous condition where the prostate becomes enlarged, obstructing the flow of urine and sperm. BPH affects up to 50 percent of men over the age of 50, and that percentage increases significantly as men age.
Prostate Artery Embolization
PAE is a minimally invasive procedure performed in an outpatient setting. During a PAE procedure, our expertly trained physicians make a slight incision in the groin or wrist and insert a small catheter through the artery supplying blood to the enlarged prostate. Then, tiny particles are injected into the arteries, inhibiting blood flow. Depriving the prostate of oxygenated blood then causes it to shrink, relieving your symptoms.
