What is Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE)?
PAE is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. Using live X-ray guidance, a micro-catheter is navigated into the arteries that supply the prostate. Tiny particles are released to reduce the blood flow, which helps the prostate shrink gradually, often easing urinary symptoms without traditional surgery.
You may be a candidate if you have:
Frequent urination (especially at night)
Urgency, weak stream, or straining to start
Feeling you can’t fully empty your bladder
Side-effects or limited relief from medications
A preference to avoid or delay invasive surgery
Your SFVA specialist will review your medical history, PSA trends, prostate size (imaging), and goals to confirm whether PAE is appropriate.
Before you travel: We help coordinate records, imaging, and scheduling so you minimise days away from home.
Procedure day: Local anaesthesia with light sedation; tiny catheter access, no open incisions.
Recovery: Temporary pelvic discomfort is common; most people resume their routine activities within several days. Your clinician will advise when it’s safe to fly back to Jamaica.
Follow-up: Virtual check-ins are available; in-person reviews can be scheduled to align with your travel plans.
Our billing team will discuss U.S. insurance, self-pay packages, and payment options before you book flights. We aim to make planning straightforward and transparent.
