Advancing Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE): From Technical Excellence to Clinical Integration
2025 Virtual Summit | April 19, 2025
April 19, 2025 | 8:30 - 11:30 am CST
Prostate Artery Embolization
The PAE Summit 2025 brings together leading experts in prostatic artery embolization to provide comprehensive training on both technical mastery and clinical integration. This three-hour virtual program delivers essential knowledge on patient selection, procedural techniques, and post-procedure management from internationally recognized specialists in the field. Attendees will gain practical insights into optimizing PAE outcomes, managing complications, and building successful PAE practices, with opportunities for direct engagement through panel discussions after each session.
Learning Objectives:
- Implement evidence-based patient selection criteria for PAE and recognize anatomical risk factors that contraindicate or complicate the procedure
- Master advanced technical aspects of PAE including optimal imaging guidance, particle handling, and alternative embolic agents
- Develop strategies for managing non-responders and recurrent symptoms following PAE
- Apply effective methods for patient expectation management and complication prevention
- Integrate PAE into office-based labs with optimized cost structures and navigate the evolving reimbursement landscape
