Comprehensive Integrated Care

Congratulations to our CiC team for completing their first Esprit BTK procedure. The Esprit is a dissolvable artery scaffold support that helps open arteries in the legs of patients with peripheral artery disease located below the knee.

This technology has been shown to be more effective than traditional balloon procedures in lowering the risk of repeat interventions, major amputation and narrowing of the target blockage. Early trials, suggest 90 percent of Esprit patients did not require additional procedures at 24 months. See less

It's a question many men won't ask out loud, but it's on their mind: will treatment change intimacy?

Unlike many surgical options for BPH, Prostate Artery Embolization is associated with a low risk of sexual side effects. No retrograde ej*******on. No erectile dysfunction caused by the procedure. Just relief from the symptoms that have been disrupting daily life.

Quality of life means all of life — and that includes the parts no one talks about at the doctor's office.

One of the first questions families ask: "is it covered?"

Good news — PAE is covered by Medicare and most major commercial insurance plans. Our team handles benefits verification before your visit, so you'll know exactly what to expect financially before any decisions are made.

No surprises. No guesswork. Just clarity.

Common misconceptions about BPH treatment that delay care:

1. "TURP or nothing." PAE is an established, evidence-supported alternative.
2. "Treatment compromises sexual function." PAE's side effect profile is favorable here.
3. "It's a normal part of aging — just live with it." Quality of life improvements are significant and measurable.
4. "Insurance won't cover it." PAE is covered by Medicare and most commercial payers.

Referring physicians and family members alike benefit from understanding the full menu of options.

What does recovery actually look like after PAE?

Day 1: Home the same afternoon. Some mild soreness, like a deep bruise.
Day 2-3: Resting, light walking, watching the game.
Day 4-7: Most patients are back to work, errands, and most daily activities.
Week 2-6: Symptoms gradually improve as the prostate shrinks.

No catheter sitting in a bag. No weeks lost on the couch. Just a quiet return to life.

Same problem. Two very different paths.

Surgery: hospital, general anesthesia, weeks of recovery.
PAE: outpatient, conscious sedation, days to recovery.

The choice deserves more conversation than it gets. Comment "INFO" and we'll send you our PAE comparison guide.

What is Prostate Artery Embolization?

In plain English: it's an outpatient procedure where a board-certified interventional radiologist uses a tiny catheter to gently shrink the prostate by reducing its blood supply. No scalpel. No general anesthesia. No hospital stay.

Most men go home the same day and return to normal activities within a week. For families exploring alternatives to TURP or other prostate surgeries, PAE is changing the conversation.

BPH — Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia — is one of the most common conditions in older men, but the signs are easy to miss because most men minimize them.

Watch for:
• Getting up multiple times at night
• Weak or interrupted stream
• Trouble starting to urinate
• Sudden, urgent need to go
• Feeling like the bladder isn't fully empty

If two or more sound familiar, it's worth a conversation. PAE may be the answer he's been waiting for.

How many times a night does he get up?

If the answer is three or more, it might not just be "getting older." Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects more than half of men over 60 — and most won't bring it up themselves.

The good news? There's a simple, non-surgical treatment called Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) that's helping men sleep through the night again. We're here when you're ready to start the conversation.
