Conditions We Treat

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or an enlarged prostate, is one of the most common conditions affecting aging men. As the prostate grows, it can place pressure on the urinary tract, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, nighttime urination, weak urinary stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder.

For qualifying patients, Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) may provide a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical treatment.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men and can occur for a variety of reasons, including vascular conditions that reduce healthy blood flow. Because proper circulation plays an important role in erectile function, identifying the underlying cause is an important first step toward treatment.

Our team helps patients understand the relationship between vascular health and erectile dysfunction while exploring minimally invasive treatment options such as embolization.

Varicocele Disease

A varicocele occurs when veins within the scrotum become enlarged, similar to varicose veins in the legs. This condition may contribute to discomfort, feelings of heaviness, or fertility concerns in some men.

Varicocele embolization offers a minimally invasive approach that can be performed without traditional surgery for appropriately selected patients.

Minimally Invasive Treatments for Men's Health

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

PAE is an image-guided procedure used to treat symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. By reducing blood flow to the tissue responsible for prostate enlargement, the prostate gradually shrinks over time, helping relieve urinary symptoms.

Erectile Dysfunction Embolization

Certain cases of erectile dysfunction may be related to abnormal blood flow within the pelvis. Advanced imaging can help identify vascular causes of ED and determine whether minimally invasive treatment may be beneficial.

Varicocele Embolization

Varicocele embolization uses image-guided technology to close abnormal veins contributing to a varicocele. The procedure is performed through a small catheter and is typically completed on an outpatient basis.

What Is Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)?

Prostate Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.

During PAE, a small catheter is inserted into an artery, typically through the wrist or groin. Using advanced imaging guidance, the physician carefully navigates the catheter to the small branches of the prostate arteries supplying blood to the enlarged prostate tissue, cutting them off and starving the affected tissues of oxygen.

PAE can be an option for men who want to explore alternatives to traditional prostate surgery while still addressing their symptoms.
