What is Prostate Artery Embolization? 

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a safe and effective procedure for treating an enlarged prostate. It is performed by an interventional radiologist - an expert in image-guided, minimally invasive treatments. Our experienced and specially trained interventional radiologists use tiny tools and particles to block the blood flow to the prostate, causing the prostate gland to shrink. Most of our patients go home on the day of their procedure, return to normal activities within a few days, and feel relief from their symptoms within a week.

Minimally Invasive Prostate Enlargement Treatment 

As men get older the prostate gland located beneath the bladder can become enlarged - a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This can cause problems with urination, and infection that interfere with quality of life.

Here at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, our renowned team of interventional radiologists are experts in treating enlarged prostates with a compassionate, caring, and minimally invasive approach that puts your comfort first.
