There is a new procedure called Prostatic Artery Embolization. It is not widely available and when I mentioned it to my VA urologist, it seemed like he had never heard of it.

They are conducting trials at VA Hospitals in Miami and LA, but you need to live close by.

I went to private hospital in Alexandria Va to have this procedure and it is now 7 weeks post. Symptoms are improving.

Sorry for hijack.
