PEA Method
Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) is a modern interventional radiology procedure used to reduce the size of the prostate. In this procedure, embolic agents (small particles) are injected into the prostate through the prostate artery using a small catheter (tube). These particles reduce the blood supply to the prostate, thereby reducing the size of the prostate and relieving the patient of symptoms.
