Keeping our fingers crossed for you!!

We leave in the catheter and have you follow up with your urologist or the provider who has been managing the catheter regarding trialing a removal of the catheter a week or 2 after treatment.

There is no connection in literature has been made with PCS and atrial fibrillation. In this case a person would typically have a severe case of May Thurner Syndrome which would also demonstrate significant amount of swelling and pain in the left leg. Further imaging and evaluation would need to be completed to understand this physiology.

Further imaging would be needed to understand the BPH and it's correlated symptoms. We have treated many prostates between 30-50grams with successful results.

Yes, there is a slight chance a bead could move to those other areas. The body would develop a new vascular supply to the area with time. There is a chance the tissue that sloughs off would include the bead(s). The beads are only the size of the tip of a fiber used for sewing.

Yes!

Yes!

Hello, if you are interested in having the procedure through our clinic you may call us at 720-668-8818 and we can answer any questions regarding cost.

Yes, PAE is a treatment for the median lobe into the bladder! You are still a candidate even if you have had a Varicocele.

Yes, you can have the procedure again. The first steps would be an office visit with potential new imaging.

Hello, please watch this video where Dr. Kovaleski explains this - th-cam.com/video/8B7RziN9j7E/w-d-xo.html

An infection 3 months after would not be related to the UFE. The risk window is 10 days so we prescribe our patients an antibiotic for 14 days to eliminate that risk.

Can you get endometrius after 3 months my uterus is 18cm doctors or saying I am at higher risk for this infection

There is definitely a chance that GAE can relieve your knee pain. However, GAE is not considered to be a definitive treatment for arthritic knee issues, but rather a temporizing measure to alleviate symptoms for up to a year, thereby allowing an improvement in quality of life with fewer doctor's visits. We can definitely treat your prostate issues. 95 grams is a rather large gland. Aquablation can have decreased efficacy with larger glands, and usually will require multiple treatments. As far as reviews go - in my opinion, expectations need to be agreed upon and understood by both parties before a procedure is done. Some patients feel as if any medical treatment should be 100% effective every single time. The hard truth - no medical treatment is perfect, and they ALL have failure rates. While a procedure like PAE has proven to be one of the most effective treatments for BPH, it still may not provide all of the relief a patient may anticipate receiving. What we know is that it's safe, as effective as any surgical option, has lower complication rates, and no risk of impotence. - Dr. Kovaleski

@@eccomedical8853 I guess the follow up question would be: does Medicare cover GAE?

Yes, it is an approved benefit under Medicare.

We wish you a speedy recovery!

Same - I’m day 3 post UFE

we are sorry to hear about your poor experience with your physician in Ohio. We treat many out of state patients and work with a local hotel on medical discounts. Our out of state patients typically fly/drive in the day before the procedure and are able to head home 1-2 days after the procedure.

It typically takes 3-6 months for full effect.

So how are you doing now ?

@servingcommonsense4379 doing well. Frequency is down to normal although every now and then there's a quick run to the bathroom. Still have a little bit of burning and feeling of needing a bowel movement. MRI scheduled for April.

@@edwardsierra4709 stay strong stay positive. Good luck on your recovery

Hope all that smooths out. I have done a lot of research and am not hearing a real tough recovery from Aquablation recipients. Statements lean more toward positive results.

We hope you see improvements!

We are sorry to hear of your cousin's passing.

If you have insurance, it should pay for it.

Hi Dwight, there are plans that approve authorization for the procedure. We would be happy to discuss it with you over the phone! Our clinic phone number is 720-668-8818

IPSS scoring, urodynamics and post void residual. nothing invasive. C Nutting

Hi Thomas, An MRI scan of your prostate is what Dr. Nutting uses at ECCO Medical to confirm the size and whether you are a good candidate for the PAE procedure.

Takes about an hour. Hooks you up with a catheter and do a pressure test. Found I had a small bladder.

TURP is a good option, just more invasive

Did you have retrograde ejaculation after TURP?

@@charlesnutting9036 Did Turp affect your ability to get an erection? I think Holep is the least invasive that lasts except for the retro ejaculation

PAE is performed under conscious sedation. Patients are sleepy but comfortable. No breathing tube. 90% of foley catheters can be removed 1 month after prostate embolization.

@@charlesnutting9036 I read that statistically a catheter inserted for 3 weeks has a 90% chance of a serious UTI, Urinary Tract Infection. Also, the catheter itself can affect your sexual function, if you care about that.

Caution!! I had a PAE procedure done at Alate Health in Houston by Dr. Doe in 2021. It was a complete FAIL! No improvement to date (8/19/22) All I got out of that procedure was a lot of discomfort and an ambulance ride to the hospital with a blood clot in my very swollen leg! Spent 2 days in the hospital. Another Radiologist fixed the blood clot. He also told me that blood clots after that procedure are not uncommon!

Had a Foley catheter in for 3 weeks, the insertion was the worst pain I've ever experienced.

@@kennymadrid2718 Yeah, me too.

Radiation amounts have decreased over the years. We routinely performed the procedure with 300 mgy, about 1/3 of the hospital dose

ur not the first😀

@@charlesnutting9036 yesterday a doctor offerred me the electric chair. He called it something else e.g. electropulse chair or electromagnetic chair. In theory it sounds like a better option. But I don't see people talking about it on YT.

@@timothysmcnamara5925 unaware of that therapy

I would have turned heel immediately

Why do it if it only last on the order of months? Is that right?

@@justgivemethetruth I've known cases where it only lasted two or three months before the symptoms returned as before. That is why I suggest do your own research asking men who have undergone the procedure. I also suggest to look into the Rezum procedure as probably a much better alternative.

@@msotil I was reading about Rezum and it is so new that there is not data about how long it lasts, nor is there any indication of how many treatments it takes to be effective and whether the cost they talk about is the cost to cure it or the cost for one treatment which may or may not work. I thought there were other methods than releasing microsphere into the body to clog up arteries. Putting foreign bodies into the body always seems to be problem in the long run, and especially tiny ones that are unaccounted for. I thought I read about other methods like stitching arteries closed or cauterizing them? Finding out about all this has suddenly become a priority, and I am not sure we really get the truth from YT videos. It's all about selling.

@@justgivemethetruth Rezum takes 5 minutes. It was developed in 2013. I had it done two years ago and still going fine. It is so quick and simple that it should be an inexpensive procedure, which is why it may not be so attractive to urologists. Previously I tried embolization; it lasted two months.

@@msotil YIKES .... 2 months? What I saw online for cost of Rezum was like $2500 ... and I have no idea if insurance will pay for that. Their standard is the TURP I think it is, but I've seen the videos on that and it just scrapes away your whole insides and seems like it does permanent damage to your urination and ejaculation. Again, I don't know and I don't know what to trust on the Internet because now almost all of it is BS. Seems like anything they do, or qualifies even as a thing should last longer than 2 months.

Agreed. Treat sooner rather than later
