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.
