No surgery to recover from. Making the prostate shrink instead of a roto rooter surgery was an easy choice for me. Urologists don't suggest this since it competes with their surgery. You need to go the physicians that do stents.

I never heard about prostate artery embolization. Which doctor type do I look for? Can you be a little more specific. Would I need to find a heart doctor. Appreciate any help. Before I read this blog I was all set to do aquablation but this prostate artery embolization sounds better.

One question : by apparently "plugging" artery blood flow to prostate to strave growth....can you speak to the risk of blood clots should a clot piece break free or am I just misunderstanding something
thank you
got to do something

Fred,

Did you have this done at Mayo Clinic? If not, where and by which doctor?

Thanks,
Paul
