PAE is performed through a small catheter inserted into an artery rather than through an incision directly into the prostate.

The procedure focuses on the arteries supplying the prostate, allowing the specialist to target blood flow to the enlarged prostate tissue.

Unlike procedures that remove prostate tissue, PAE works by reducing blood flow to the prostate, allowing the treated tissue to shrink over time.

For selected patients, PAE may provide another treatment option when medications are insufficient or when a patient prefers to explore a minimally invasive approach.

PAE isn't appropriate for every patient with BPH or urinary symptoms. Your specialist will evaluate your prostate, symptoms, vascular anatomy, medical history, and other factors before recommending treatment.
