Step by Step Overview of PAE

Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that may be an option for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Here is an overview of how the procedure is typically performed 👇🏾
1️⃣ Advanced imaging is used to map the arteries supplying the prostate.
2️⃣ A catheter is gently inserted through a tiny incision in the wrist or groin.
3️⃣ Microscopic particles are deployed to reduce blood flow to the targeted areas.
4️⃣ The intended outcome is for the prostate to gradually shrink, which aims to relieve urinary symptoms.

If you’ve been diagnosed with BPH, speak to your doctor about PAE as a treatment option, or visit our website to learn more.
