EP 729: The More You Know! Artery Embolization Is The Way To Go!

Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined again by NAU Urology Specialists' very own Interventional Radiologist, Dr. Preston Smith!  In this episode that should be called "Prostate artery embolization versus varicocele artery embolization," you'll learn what both are and how artery embolization treats them.  Prostate artery embolization works sort of like plugging up a dam so blood flow is lessened or minimized to the prostate.  This helps shrink the prostate to minimize BPH symptoms or can shrink the prostate to get it ready for a procedure when the prostate needs to be smaller.  Varicocele artery embolization is also discussed.  Varicoceles can commonly cause testicular pain and contribute to infertility so minimizing them can certainly help reduce the discomfort and pain.  Tune into listen to all of the interesting ways this minimally invasive procedure can help so many different issues.  Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice, NAU Urology Specialists, in 2007.  Donna Lee has worked with Dr. Mistry since 2017 and is now NAU Urology Specialists' Director of Business Development.  She's also a professional standup comedian. We enjoy hearing from you!
