SHRINKING AN ENLARGED PROSTATE
A minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure to treat an enlarged prostate by shrinking it
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland near the neck of the bladder. An enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) isn't normally cancerous but it can put pressure on the urethra and make it difficult to pass urine.
Prostate artery embolisation (PAE) is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to treat an enlarged prostate by blocking off the arteries that feed it. By doing so, it shrinks the prostate.
In all published PAE trails to date, a symptomatic improvement is seen in just over 80 per cent of men at 3 to 12 months, and these improvements are sustained at medium- and long-term follow-up appointments, where there is a cumulative success rate of 78 per cent.
NICE approved PAE for routine use in April 2018 and our team of consultants have performed more than 300 PAE cases in the UK with excellent results.
