Prostate Artery Embolization is a non-surgical technique for treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. The procedure involves blocking the blood flow of small branches of the prostatic arteries using microparticles injected via a small catheter to decrease the size of the prostate gland to reduce lower urinary tract symptoms. It is a minimally invasive therapy which can be performed with local anesthesia, as an outpatient procedure.
How is prostate artery embolization performed?
Prostatic artery embolization is performed through a small puncture in the groin. A catheter is inserted through the artery and directed toward the prostate. Once the catheter is positioned in the artery supplying blood to the prostate, tiny particles are injected that plug up the artery, blocking blood flow.
