Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly appears in men over 50. This condition can cause various symptoms, primarily problems with urination, such as waking up during the night to urinate or trouble emptying the bladder.

Our medical professionals use prostate artery embolization (PAE), which may help treat BPH and its symptoms. This cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment can shrink the prostate by restricting blood flow to the area, thus reducing symptoms. At Premier Endovascular, we specialize in vascular procedures like PAE. This procedure, combined with our expertise, enables faster recovery without a hospital stay. You also have a lower risk of side effects compared to traditional surgery.
