Building Expertise in Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE)
Developing a proficient PAE program requires a focused approach within a practice. It is essential to designate two or three individuals as primary operators who will gain hands-on experience through a concentrated case volume. If a large group of practitioners each performs only a couple of cases, expertise does not develop effectively, making coordinated training vital. This deliberate effort in skill-building sets a solid foundation for the PAE program's success.
