In this interview Dr. Shivank Bhatia, Associate Professor of Interventional Radiology and Urology at the University of Miami Hospital, speaks about Prostatic Artery Embolization, the relatively new minimally invasive procedure to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Dr. Bhatia highlights what this new procedure means for interventional radiologists as well as the training aids available to help drastically reduce the learning curve.
