Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) Research

Prostate artery embolization is a game-changing intervention for patients seeking relief from disruptive benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms. There is an abundant body of research detailing the efficacy of the procedure. The following studies can help illuminate the benefits of PAE.

• Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology. This study finds that patients with comorbidities that preclude invasive surgical interventions can benefit from PAE.
• Boston Medical Center Urology. This paper finds that PAE is a highly effective treatment for patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms caused by BPH. This finding includes patients without medication success and for whom surgical interventions are not an option.
• Turkish Journal of Urology. This review discusses the questions surrounding the widespread adoption of PAE as a treatment for BPH, including the findings that sexual function improves after the procedure.
• Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology. This analysis compared minimally invasive BPH technique outcomes. PAE was found to have minimal adverse effects compared to other treatments, which have been associated with bleeding complications.
• The Lancet. This study found PAE more effective in urinary symptom reduction than combined oral therapies.
