Mastering PAE: From Anatomy to Outcomes

Advancing Prostate Artery Embolization — Technique, Evidence, and Expanding Indications

Prostate artery embolization has emerged as a proven, minimally invasive alternative for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia and is a rapidly expanding field. The PAE Summit 2026 is a focused, high-yield virtual education program designed for practicing interventional radiologists who want to sharpen their technical edge, master challenging anatomy, and stay ahead of the evidence. Led by a global faculty of PAE experts, this summit delivers a comprehensive program spanning foundational vascular anatomy, AI-assisted vessel mapping, microcatheter selection, embolization agent strategy, and emerging indications including chronic prostatitis and the complex intersection of PAE with prostate cancer care. Whether you are building your PAE program or refining an established practice, this summit offers the clinical precision, case-based insight, and peer debate you need to perform PAE with greater confidence, consistency, and outcomes.
