Prostate Artery Embolization at RIA Endovascular

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects millions of men as they age. The symptoms—frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urine flow, nighttime trips to the bathroom—can significantly impact daily life and sleep quality. At RIA Endovascular, we offer a proven, non-surgical treatment that brings lasting relief: Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE).

What Is Prostate Artery Embolization?

PAE is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure performed by our board-certified interventional radiologists. Using advanced imaging guidance, a small catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin and navigated to the arteries supplying the prostate. Tiny particles are then injected to block blood flow to specific areas of the prostate, causing it to shrink and relieving pressure on the urethra.

Why Choose PAE?

  • Minimally Invasive – No surgery, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime.

  • Outpatient Procedure – Go home the same day.

  • Preserves Sexual Function – A key benefit over traditional surgical options.

  • Rapid Symptom Relief – Most patients notice improvement within days to weeks.

  • Experienced Team – Performed by RIA’s fellowship-trained interventional radiologists, including Dr. Gregory Martin, a national leader in men’s health interventions.

Patient Success Stories

At RIA Endovascular, we’ve seen firsthand how PAE can restore comfort and confidence. Many patients come to us after struggling for years with symptoms or medications that no longer work. After PAE, they sleep better, feel better, and often say their only regret is not doing it sooner.

Is PAE Right for You?

If you’ve been diagnosed with BPH and are looking for a less invasive alternative to surgery, schedule a consultation with our team. We’ll walk you through your options and help determine if PAE is the right solution for your needs.
