Prostate Artery Embolization

A Minimally Invasive Solution for BPH

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure offered at Raleigh Radiology to help men experiencing urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PAE offers an alternative to surgery, providing relief with less downtime and fewer risks. 

Our interventional radiologists will review your health history and symptoms to determine if PAE is the best treatment for you during a consultation at our Midtown office.  

Clinical Benefits of PAE

• Minimally invasive – no surgery or hospital stay required
• Lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical treatments
• Preserves sexual function in most patients
• Rapid symptom relief – many patients notice improvement within days to weeks
• Short recovery time – most men return to normal activities within a few days
• Long-lasting results – studies show sustained improvement in urinary symptoms and quality of life

Is PAE Right for You?

PAE may be an option if you:

• Have been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Experience urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, difficulty starting urination, or nighttime waking
• Prefer a non-surgical treatment option
• Have not found relief from medications or want to avoid long-term medication use
• Are not a candidate for surgery due to other health conditions
