833 - EMBOKARE
Embolization is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure whereby a tiny tube or catheter, inserted via a tiny skin puncture, is navigated through the blood vessels, using X-ray guidance, to a desired target site where minute particles are injected to reduce or block blood flow, leading to an improvement of symptoms.
"My BPH also caused severe bleeding from my penis bad enough to require a blood transfusion. A urologist who saw me in the hospital said that I needed to stop my blood-thinners, but this could have cause my brain artery stent to clot-off, threatening stoke or death. Instead, an Embokare physician performed prostate embolization which immediately stopped the bleeding.
Within a few days my frequent urination was really decreased. It was like night and day!”
“For years I had been suffering from worsening BPH. It was embarrassing to ride in a car with band members for long distances because we’d have to pull over every half-hour for me to go to the restroom. I was getting up about nine times a night to relieve myself. I heard about prostate embolization from my primary care doctor.
The procedure was quick and painless, and within a few days, my frequent urination was already much improved. My sleep improved dramatically. I haven’t had a problem in four years."
