Prostate Artery Embolization at RIA Endovascular

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects many men as they age. Symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine flow, and disrupted sleep can significantly impact daily life. For those seeking relief without the risks of surgery, Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) offers a cutting-edge, minimally invasive alternative. At RIA Endovascular, our expert team provides this innovative procedure with a focus on patient comfort, safety, and long-term symptom relief.

What Is Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)?

PAE is an advanced, image-guided procedure performed by interventional radiologists. Instead of traditional surgery, PAE uses a catheter to deliver tiny embolic particles into the arteries supplying the prostate, reducing its blood flow. This leads to a gradual shrinkage of the prostate and an improvement in urinary symptoms. Since PAE does not require general anesthesia or an extended hospital stay, it is an excellent option for patients who prefer a quicker recovery with fewer complications.

Why Choose PAE at RIA Endovascular?

• Expert Physicians: Our board-certified interventional radiologists specialize in minimally invasive procedures, ensuring the highest level of expertise and care.

• Personalized Treatment Plans: We tailor each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and specific symptoms, maximizing effectiveness.

• Faster Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, experiencing significant symptom relief within weeks.

• Lower Risk Profile: Unlike traditional prostate surgery, PAE has a reduced risk of sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and other complications.

What to Expect During and After PAE

The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed on an outpatient basis. Afterward, patients may experience mild discomfort for a few days as the prostate begins to shrink. Within a few weeks, most men notice a substantial improvement in urinary function and overall quality of life.

At RIA Endovascular, we understand how disruptive BPH symptoms can be, and we are committed to providing the latest treatment options to help our patients regain their comfort and confidence. If you or a loved one is struggling with an enlarged prostate, schedule a consultation with our team to see if PAE is right for you.
