Common symptoms of BPH

Because BPH compresses the urethra, it can lead to a range of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) including:

  • Difficult, weak, or interrupted urination
  • Frequent or urgent urination, including at night
  • Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

Advantages of Prostate Artery Embolization

PAE is a safe and effective option for men seeking relief from BPH symptoms. During the state-of-the-art procedure, a specialty-trained doctor will introduce a small catheter into your artery and deliver microscopic particles into the blood flow of the prostate gland. This decreases the blood supply to and shrinks the prostate, relieving symptoms. Benefits include:

Minimally Invasive Procedure

PAE requires only a small catheter insertion in the wrist or the groin — no incisions or general anesthesia.

Healthier Outcomes

PAE is associated with less risk of complications including incontinence, sexual dysfunction, or bleeding than surgical treatments.

Quick Recovery

Patients undergoing PAE experience shorter recovery times and can return to normal activities usually within a couple of days.

Outpatient Care

PAE is usually performed on an outpatient basis, avoiding the need for overnight hospitalization.

Effective Results

Clinical studies show PAE effectively relieves BPH symptoms, reduces prostate size, and offers lasting results for over 76% of patients.
