Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) with Prostate cancer

I had Tulsa Pro in Nov 2023, took out most of middle of prostate outside urethra which included lesions of PCa, but it left areas outside that. In July 2025 since I still had some BPH in that outer area that was left, I had PAE. So not the same as what is being proposed to you. You should look at Tulsa Pro, and my prostate was large but maybe you don't even need two procedures if your prostate isn't so large, maybe you just need Tulsa. I had it done in Sarasota, Dr Scionti, who has done more than just about anyone.

My PAE procedure was real easy. Tulsa Pro isn't hard either. Tulsa and PAE are safe and effective, Tulsa was heavily modified just before my Nov 2023 so it is much more effective. PAE is real easy to handle if you have a pro handling it. You won't find almost any urologist to comment positively on PAE, that is not their field. Dr Scioni is a urologist who handles Tulsa in Sarasota, but PAE is done by interventional radiologists usually and I had that locally. I don't have any ED from either procedure, Tulsa did not give ED, and PAE did not give ED.

Great comments thanks. In need to look into Tulsa. Tell me about your diagnosis. I am 62 very healthy and active, PSA was at 4.5 in Feb 2025 but last check in July 2025 is went down to 3.2 which is confusing. MRI in April 2025 found PIRAD 5 lesson 2.2 cm in the transitional zone so inside the prostate between the two layers. May 13 core MRI guided biopsy found area of concern had 70% abnormal with only 5% of that 4 the rest 3, so 3+4=7. Followed up with CT w/contrast and PSMA PET no spread. ArteraAI says cancer is very low grade only giving a .7% chance on metastification in 10 years. MiraDx/Prostox test says I’m not a good candidate for SBRT (only IBRT) due to a 95% chance of having long term grade2 level toxicity and urinary issues, so I’m looking at other options.
