Prostatic Artery Embolization

Prostatic Artery Embolization

Prostate artery Embolization is an innovative, nonsurgical treatment option for Prostrate enlargement (BPH).
During the procedure, a catheter (a narrow tube) is inserted through the groin or wrist. Specialist Doctors use imaging technology to guide the catheter into the prostate. Very tiny beads are used to restrict blood flow to the prostate and cause it to shrink. The procedure does not need anaesthesia. The Patient is mildly sedated and goes home on the same day.

PAE Benefits

  • The procedure usually lasts between one and four hours. 
  • Day Care Procedure
  • Shorter recovery time 
  • Low risk of sexual side effects
  • Low risk of urinary incontinence 
  • Shorter urinary catheterization time (may be avoided completely) 
  • Decreased discomfort 
  • The Patient can return to work and normal activities in less than two weeks.

How Do I Know If A Prostate Artery Embolisation Procedure Is Right For Me?

This nonsurgical treatment is for :
  • Men with symptoms such as frequent urination or an inability to empty the bladder.
  • Men who have tried medication for six months or more without relief of symptoms or if medications caused significant side effects.
  • The Patient has been screened for prostate cancer risk.
  • Men who have tried other therapies and want or need to avoid more invasive surgery.

An examination by our experts will determine whether or not you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Diabetes can also affect blood flow to your legs and feet. Arteries of people with diabetes can become narrowed or blocked( Peripheral Artery Disease). Poor circulation reduces the delivery of oxygen, nutrients and immune cells to the foot making it difficult for a diabetes-related foot ulcer or infection to heal.
