Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a new treatment option for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate gland. This procedure can greatly reduce BPH symptoms.
Most often patients are discharged from the hospital three hours after the procedure, but sometimes it may be necessary to stay overnight.
Please note: If you were interested in participating in the clinical trial for PAE, that study is currently closed. However, the PAE procedure is currently performed at two Inova locations as outlined below.
