Synopsis

Dr. Nutting emphasizes that it is important to learn PAE in a hospital setting before transitioning to the OBL. He recommends using consistent equipment to help with the learning process. Dr. Nutting also shares his experience with radiopaque beads in PAE and describes the advantages of seeing the deposition of the beads into the gland. The doctors discuss the potential impact of the 2023 American Urological Association (AUA) Guidelines, which for the first time recognizes PAE for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and what this might mean for patient volume and interventional radiology training.
