Prostate artery embolization may be performed by interventional radiologists, but its indications are rooted in urologic evaluation. In the second installment of our 2026 PAE University Series, Dr. Chris Beck is joined by Dr. Art Rastinehad of Northwell Health, a urologist with formal interventional radiology training, to share how his dual background informs both when to offer PAE and how to execute it thoughtfully.---This podcast is supported by an educational grant from Guerbet.---SYNPOSISDr. Rastinehad discusses his path from urology into IR and how that combined training shapes his current hybrid practice. He outlines a practical BPH consult framework grounded in urologic evaluation, emphasizing appropriate imaging, careful patient selection, and the importance of ruling out malignancy before proceeding with embolization. From his perspective, durable outcomes begin with disciplined workup and clear counseling around expectations, including sexual side effects and alternative treatment options.The conversation then turns to procedural strategy. Dr. Rastinehad reviews anatomic considerations, large-gland and technically challenging cases, and his experience incorporating liquid embolics into PAE. He compares glue and particles, detailing workflow decisions, medication strategy, and post-procedure management. Throughout, he highlights scenarios where PAE may not be the most appropriate intervention and how other BPH tools may better serve the patient.The episode concludes with a discussion of the future of PAE, including questions of training, collaboration between specialties, and reimbursement; underscoring the value of cross-specialty insight in contemporary BPH care.---TIMESTAMPS---RESOURCESEarly Outcomes of Prostatic Artery Embolization using n-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Liquid Embolic Agent: A Safety and Feasibility Studyhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39074551/Dr. Rastinehad’s Websitehttps://drrastinehad.com/
