Can Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) replace surgery for an enlarged prostate? For men living with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the decision about how to treat urinary symptoms can be confusing. Traditional BPH procedures such as TURP, HoLEP, GreenLight laser, Aquablation, and simple prostatectomy have been used for years—but Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) offers another minimally invasive treatment option that patients may want to consider.
In this episode of UroPatient, host and presenter Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, explains what patients need to know about Prostate Artery Embolization for BPH, how the procedure works, and how it compares with surgical treatments for an enlarged prostate.
PAE is an image-guided, minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. During PAE, tiny particles are delivered through the arteries supplying the prostate. The goal is to reduce blood flow to portions of the prostate, causing the prostate tissue to shrink and potentially improving urinary symptoms, urinary flow, frequency, urgency, nocturia, and difficulty emptying the bladder.
But is PAE really a replacement for BPH surgery?
