EP 651: Can't Pee? You Need PAE! Dr. Smith of Summit IR on the Miracle of Prostate Artery Embolization

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee is joined by interventional radiologist Dr. Preston Smith of Summit IR. One of the most common procedures Dr. Smith performs is prostate artery embolization, which shrinks an enlarged prostate by cutting off its blood supply. PAE is well-known as a minimally invasive and mostly permanent treatment for BPH. The process of embolization, or blocking an artery, has also been used to treat a variety of conditions from uterine fibroids to arthritic knees--but it's not for everyone. Dr. Smith and Dr. Mistry explain why this procedure is amazingly safe and effective for patients who have been deemed good candidates for PAE. Tune in to learn more about how interventional radiology and whether PAE is right for you!
