When men research Prostate Artery Embolization as an alternative to surgery for BPH, cost is almost always one of the first questions — and the honest answer is that PAE does not have a single fixed price. The cost varies between centres, between patients, and between the specific components that different hospitals include in their package. Understanding what drives that variation, and what you should reasonably expect to pay for a complete, safe, and properly followed-up PAE at a credentialled interventional radiology centre in Hyderabad, is what this guide is designed to help with.
PAE is a more technically complex procedure than standard day-care operations — it involves advanced interventional radiology equipment, specialised embolic microspheres that have a significant material cost, an experienced specialist performing catheter-based navigation through the pelvic arterial system, and a follow-up pathway including post-procedure MRI to confirm prostate volume reduction. All of these components contribute to the cost, and all of them matter for the quality of your outcome. This guide explains every component, compares PAE cost with TURP surgery, covers insurance, EMI options, and gives you the questions to ask any centre before committing.

How to Get an Accurate PAE Cost Estimate:
For an accurate PAE cost estimate, WhatsApp 73375 83901 with: your prostate MRI report and disc, PSA result, current BPH medications, any ultrasound report showing prostate size, brief medical history (particularly cardiac conditions or blood thinners), and any previous prostate procedures. The more clinical information Dr. Garge's team has in advance, the more precise and useful your estimate — and your consultation — will be.
These are indicative price ranges for 2026 at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB, Hyderabad. Your exact PAE cost depends on your prostate anatomy, procedure complexity, what is included in the package, and applicable insurance coverage. For a personalised written cost estimate before you commit: WhatsApp your prostate MRI report and PSA result to 73375 83901.
Prostate Artery Embolization in Hyderabad costs approximately Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 3,00,000 for a complete bilateral procedure at a credentialled interventional radiology centre. This places it in a similar or slightly higher range than TURP surgery when like-for-like components are compared — but the total economic cost of the two procedures, when indirect costs (hospital stay, lost working days, catheter care, complication management) are included, often makes PAE more economical overall for the right patient.
The wide range — Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 3,00,000 — reflects genuine clinical variation, not arbitrary pricing. A straightforward PAE in a patient with standard pelvic arterial anatomy, a moderate-size prostate, and no complicating comorbidities will cost less than a complex PAE in a patient with tortuous or variant prostate arterial anatomy, a very large prostate requiring more microspheres, or significant comorbidities requiring extended monitoring. Understanding why the range exists helps you evaluate what you are being quoted.
|
Cost Driver |
Why It Affects PAE Price |
|
Prostate size and anatomy |
Larger prostates require more microspheres and longer procedure time. Very large prostates (> 100g) have more extensive arterial supply requiring more precise mapping and treatment. |
|
Pelvic arterial anatomy complexity |
Standard bilateral prostate arteries from the internal iliac artery add relatively straightforward navigation. Aberrant, tortuous, or variant prostate arterial origins significantly increase procedure time and technical demand. |
|
Microsphere type and volume |
Embolic microspheres are a significant material cost in PAE. Premium calibrated microspheres (e.g. Embosphere, Bead Block, Embozene) have higher material costs than uncalibrated particles but provide more precise, reproducible embolization. |
|
Bilateral vs unilateral PAE |
Standard PAE treats both prostate arteries (bilateral) — more thorough, better outcomes, but requires more time and more microspheres than unilateral. Unilateral PAE is occasionally technically necessary. |
|
Procedure duration |
Straightforward anatomy: 60–75 minutes. Complex anatomy with multiple arterial variants: 90–120 minutes. Longer procedures require more contrast, more X-ray time, and more specialist time. |
|
Sedation requirements |
Standard IV sedation costs less than sedation with anaesthetist involvement for patients with significant comorbidities requiring closer monitoring |
|
Post-procedure observation |
Day-care PAE with 4–6 hours observation costs less than extended overnight observation for selected higher-risk patients |
|
What is included in the package |
Centres that include pre-procedure MRI review, post-PAE medications, and follow-up MRI in the package cost appear more expensive upfront but are more economical overall than those who itemise these separately |
When patients compare PAE and TURP costs, the most common mistake is comparing only the procedure price — not the total economic cost of each treatment episode. TURP requires 2–4 days of hospital ward admission (at Rs 5,000–15,000 per night), a general or spinal anaesthetic (which adds anaesthetist and theatre charges), mandatory post-operative catheter care, 4–6 weeks of recovery during which many patients cannot work, and a higher rate of complications (bleeding, urinary tract infection, urethral stricture) each of which adds further cost if they occur.
|
Cost Component |
TURP Surgery |
PAE at Citi Vascular, KPHB |
|
Procedure / theatre cost |
Rs 60,000 – Rs 1,20,000 (theatre + surgical fees) |
Rs 1,50,000 – Rs 3,00,000 (includes all PAE components) |
|
Hospital ward stay |
Rs 10,000 – Rs 60,000 (2–4 nights at Rs 5,000–15,000/night) |
Day-care — Rs 0 admission cost |
|
Anaesthesia charges |
Rs 15,000 – Rs 30,000 (general or spinal anaesthetist fees) |
Included in PAE package — IV sedation, no separate anaesthetist fee |
|
Catheter care post-procedure |
Rs 2,000 – Rs 5,000 (catheter bag, district nurse visits, district clinic) |
No catheter required for most PAE patients — Rs 0 |
|
Recovery: days off work (indirect cost) |
28–42 days recovery at Rs 2,000/day indirect cost = Rs 56,000–84,000 |
7–14 days at Rs 2,000/day = Rs 14,000–28,000 |
|
Complication management (average risk) |
Bleeding, UTI, urethral stricture risk — average 10–15% additional cost events |
PAE complication rate lower — post-syndrome (24–48hr flu-like) managed with medications already prescribed |
|
Post-operative follow-up |
Urology outpatients — 1–3 follow-up appointments |
3–6 month prostate MRI + Dr. Garge follow-up consultation — confirm if included |
|
Total economic cost estimate |
Rs 1,43,000 – Rs 3,15,000+ (all components combined) |
Rs 1,64,000 – Rs 3,46,000 (all components combined) |
|
Comparable when all costs included? |
Yes — when full economic cost of surgical pathway is compared |
PAE economic cost similar or lower when indirect costs and shorter recovery are included |
The real financial comparison: When patients see that TURP costs 'only Rs 80,000–2,00,000' and PAE costs 'Rs 1,50,000–3,00,000', they assume TURP is cheaper. But the TURP figure rarely includes 3–4 nights of ward accommodation, anaesthesia charges, catheter management costs, or the economic value of 4–6 weeks of recovery vs PAE's 7–14 days. A complete like-for-like comparison typically shows the total economic cost of both treatments is similar — with PAE often being lower when all components are honestly included.
The PAE cost is not simply a procedure fee charged for the doctor's time. Understanding what each component of the cost represents helps you evaluate quotes from different centres and make sure you are comparing equivalent services. Here is a component-by-component explanation of what goes into the price of PAE at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB, Hyderabad.
|
Cost Component |
What This Represents |
|
Embolic Microspheres |
The specialised particles that block the prostate arteries — the single largest material cost in PAE. Calibrated microspheres (100–300 micron) used at Citi Vascular Centre ensure precise, reproducible embolization and reduce the risk of non-target embolization to adjacent structures. |
|
Catheter, Microcatheter and Wire |
Specialised single-use disposable catheter system for pelvic arterial navigation — different sized catheters for initial access and the microcatheter for selective prostate artery cannulation. These are specialised devices used once and discarded. |
|
Angiography Suite Time |
Access to the high-definition fluoroscopy and cone-beam CT suite required for PAE — sophisticated imaging technology with high capital and maintenance cost. Charged per procedure session. |
|
Contrast Dye (Iodinated) |
Iodinated contrast for real-time angiographic visualisation of the prostate arterial anatomy — volume depends on anatomy complexity |
|
Specialist Fee — Dr. Garge |
The interventional radiologist's professional fee for planning, performing, and supervising the PAE procedure and post-procedure assessment. Reflects the technical skill required for safe pelvic arterial embolization. |
|
IV Sedation and Anaesthetic Support |
Intravenous midazolam and fentanyl sedation (or equivalent) plus monitoring — administered and monitored throughout the procedure for patient comfort |
|
Post-Procedure Observation (4–6 hours) |
Recovery suite nursing care, vital signs monitoring, oral hydration and snacks, intravenous fluids if required, and pain management during the recovery period |
|
Discharge Medications |
7–10 day course of prophylactic antibiotics (prevent prostate infection) plus anti-inflammatory medication (reduces post-PAE syndrome severity) — included as standard |
|
Pre-Procedure Imaging Review by Dr. Garge |
Detailed review of prostate MRI for size, anatomy, arterial supply, suitability assessment, and procedure planning — clinical time before the procedure begins |
|
Post-PAE Follow-Up Consultation |
Dr. Garge's review of clinical response, IPSS assessment, and outcome discussion at 6–8 weeks and again when follow-up MRI is available |
Not all PAE centres in Hyderabad include the same components in their quoted price. Before you accept a cost quote, make sure you understand exactly what is and is not included — because apparent price differences between centres often disappear when you add the items that the cheaper centre charges separately.
|
⚠ |
Pre-procedure MRI not included |
Some centres quote PAE cost without including a prostate MRI. If you have not had a recent MRI, this adds Rs 8,000–18,000. Ask specifically whether MRI is needed separately. |
|
⚠ |
Blood tests charged separately |
Pre-PAE coagulation screen, renal function, and PSA may be charged outside the PAE package — adds Rs 1,500–3,500. Confirm upfront. |
|
⚠ |
Post-procedure medications not included |
Discharge antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs should be included in the PAE package. If not, budget Rs 1,500–3,000 for the post-discharge prescription. |
|
⚠ |
Follow-up MRI at 3–6 months charged separately |
This is clinically important — the outcome MRI confirms prostate volume reduction and guides ongoing management. Some centres charge this separately (Rs 8,000–18,000). Ask if it is included. |
|
⚠ |
Anaesthesia / sedation charged additionally |
Some centres quote a 'PAE fee' that excludes sedation, which is then billed separately. Ensure the quote includes IV sedation in the procedure room. |
|
⚠ |
Post-procedure consultation charged separately |
Your follow-up appointment with Dr. Garge to review symptoms and the 3–6 month outcome should be included — not billed as a new specialist consultation. |
|
⚠ |
Overnight stay if unexpectedly required |
Most PAE patients go home the same day. But if you are older, have significant comorbidity, or experience more than expected post-procedure discomfort, an overnight stay may be needed. Clarify the charge for this contingency. |

Insurance coverage for PAE in Hyderabad is evolving — and the answer in 2026 is more positive than it was 3–4 years ago. As PAE has become established in international clinical guidelines (NICE UK, American Urological Association, Society of Interventional Radiology), more Indian health insurance policies are beginning to recognise it as a valid covered procedure for medically indicated BPH treatment. However, coverage is not universal, and the details depend significantly on your specific policy.
|
Coverage Category |
Insurance Position — General |
How Citi Vascular Team Helps |
|
PAE for medically indicated BPH (documented failed medical therapy, IPSS > 20) |
Increasingly covered. More policies covering PAE as minimally invasive alternative to TURP — particularly where surgical risk is documented. |
Team prepares pre-auth with IPSS score, MRI report, PSA, medication failure documentation. |
|
PAE as preferred alternative to TURP due to sexual function preservation |
Coverage depends on insurer. Being sexually active and preserving ejaculatory function is a valid clinical indication — document this clearly in pre-auth. |
Dr. Garge writes a clinical letter documenting medical rationale for PAE over TURP for your specific case. |
|
PAE in high surgical risk patient (cardiac, respiratory, anticoagulated) |
Often covered — medical necessity for minimally invasive approach is strongly documentable |
Clinical letter from Dr. Garge and supporting cardiac/respiratory specialist letters where needed |
|
Corporate / employer health schemes |
Variable — some corporate schemes cover PAE as a daycare procedure. Check with HR or insurer before booking. |
Team provides all documentation required for corporate scheme pre-approval |
|
Ayushman Bharat / Government health scheme |
Generally not yet covered under Ayushman Bharat for PAE — check with scheme administrator |
Team advises clearly on likelihood of coverage under government schemes before booking |
Our team assists with all insurance pre-authorisation at no extra charge. We prepare the clinical indication letter from Dr. Garge, the IPSS and MRI documentation, and the procedure cost breakdown in the format required by your TPA. In cases where PAE is approved, patients often have minimal or no out-of-pocket cost for the procedure itself. WhatsApp 73375 83901 to discuss your specific policy before booking.
PAE costs more than routine day-care procedures — and for patients whose insurance does not cover it or covers only part of the cost, the upfront payment requirement can be a significant barrier. Citi Vascular Centre offers flexible payment options to ensure that the right treatment is accessible to every patient who needs it.

The questions below will help you compare PAE cost quotes between different centres accurately — and avoid committing to a procedure where the headline price excludes components that turn out to be significantly expensive later.
|
Question to Ask |
Why It Matters |
|
Is a prostate MRI included, or do I need a separate scan? |
If you need a fresh MRI, this adds Rs 8,000–18,000 to your total cost — and must be done before PAE can be planned. Ask upfront. |
|
Are the microspheres included? Which type? |
Premium calibrated microspheres vs uncalibrated particles have different cost profiles and different precision outcomes. Ask specifically. |
|
Is IV sedation included in the quote? |
Some centres add anaesthesia and sedation as a separate line item. Confirm it is in the price. |
|
Are post-procedure medications included? |
Discharge antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for 7–10 days — confirm these are included, not a separate prescription to fill elsewhere. |
|
Is the follow-up MRI at 3–6 months included? |
This is the outcome measurement — clinically important. If charged separately, add Rs 8,000–18,000 to your total. |
|
What happens if I need an overnight stay? |
Day-care PAE occasionally requires overnight observation. Understand the per-night ward cost in case this becomes necessary. |
|
Will you help with insurance pre-authorisation? |
Ask whether the team prepares pre-auth documents and whether there is an administrative fee for this service. |
|
Is the follow-up consultation included? |
Dr. Garge's 6-week review and 3–6 month outcome consultation — confirm included or ask the separate consultation fee. |
When comparing PAE cost across centres in Hyderabad, the most important question is not who quotes the lowest number — it is what the full package includes and who is performing the procedure. A cheaper PAE performed with uncalibrated microspheres by a less experienced operator may produce an inferior result — leaving you back on medications, facing retreatment, or ultimately needing TURP. The right PAE the first time is more economical than a cheaper PAE that fails.

Q1: How much does prostate artery embolization cost in Hyderabad?
Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) in Hyderabad costs approximately Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 3,00,000 for a complete bilateral procedure at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB. The exact price depends on prostate size, arterial anatomy complexity, microsphere type, and what is included in the package (pre-procedure MRI, medications, follow-up). For a personalised written estimate, WhatsApp your prostate MRI report to 73375 83901.
Q2: Is PAE more expensive than TURP surgery?
The PAE procedure fee (Rs 1,50,000–3,00,000) appears higher than the TURP surgical fee (Rs 80,000–2,00,000). However, TURP requires 2–4 days of hospital ward admission, separate anaesthesia charges, mandatory catheter management, and 4–6 weeks of recovery — indirect costs many patients do not include. When all costs are compared honestly, PAE and TURP have a similar total economic cost for most patients, with PAE often being lower.
Q3: Is PAE covered by health insurance in Hyderabad?
PAE coverage in Hyderabad varies by insurer and policy. In 2026, more health insurance policies cover PAE as a medically indicated minimally invasive alternative to TURP — particularly when medical therapy has failed, surgical risk is elevated, or sexual function preservation is a documented clinical priority. The team at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB, prepares all pre-authorisation documentation on your behalf at no extra charge. WhatsApp 73375 83901 to check your coverage before booking.
Q4: Is 0% EMI available for PAE at Citi Vascular Centre?
Yes — a 0% EMI facility is available for eligible patients on qualifying procedures at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB, Hyderabad. This allows you to pay the PAE cost in equal monthly instalments with zero interest for the approved tenure, making PAE financially accessible without a large upfront sum. Speak to the care coordinator at your consultation to confirm eligibility. Call +91-73375 83901 or WhatsApp 73375 83901.
Q5: What is included in the PAE cost at Citi Vascular Centre?
The standard PAE package at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB, includes: pre-procedure MRI review by Dr. Garge, angiography suite booking, premium calibrated microspheres, catheter and wire system, iodinated contrast, IV sedation, 4–6 hours post-procedure observation, discharge medications (antibiotics and anti-inflammatory), and a follow-up consultation at 6 weeks. Pre-procedure blood tests and follow-up MRI at 3–6 months may be itemised separately. A written itemised estimate is provided before you commit.
Q6: Why does PAE cost vary between different hospitals?
PAE cost varies between hospitals because of genuine differences in: type of microspheres used (premium calibrated vs uncalibrated), specialist qualifications and experience, angiography suite quality, whether sedation, medications, and follow-up are included in the quote or charged separately, and observation duration post-procedure. A lower headline price at another centre may not include components that add significantly to the total cost. Always ask for a written itemised estimate.
Q7: Do I need a prostate MRI before PAE and does it add to the cost?
Yes — a prostate MRI is essential before PAE to assess prostate size, anatomy, arterial supply, and exclude suspicious areas. If you already have a recent MRI (within 6 months), Dr. Garge reviews it as part of your consultation. If you need a fresh MRI, this costs approximately Rs 8,000–18,000 at most radiology centres and is a separate cost unless specifically included in your PAE package. Confirm at booking.
Q8: Are blood tests required before PAE and do they add to the cost?
Yes — pre-PAE blood tests are required: full blood count, coagulation screen (PT/INR, APTT, platelet count), renal function (for contrast dye safety), and PSA. These cost approximately Rs 1,500–3,500 depending on where they are done. Some centres include them in the PAE package; others charge them separately. At Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB, the team clarifies at booking whether blood tests are included or need to be arranged separately.
Q9: What is the cost of the follow-up MRI after PAE?
A prostate MRI at 3–6 months after PAE confirms prostate volume reduction and guides ongoing management — it is clinically important, not optional. This MRI costs approximately Rs 8,000–18,000 at most radiology centres in Hyderabad. Some PAE centres include it in their package; others charge it separately. Ask specifically when you receive your PAE cost estimate. At Citi Vascular Centre, confirm inclusion at the time of booking. WhatsApp 73375 83901.
Q10: Who is the best doctor for PAE in Hyderabad and what does a consultation cost?
Dr. Shaileshkumar Garge — FRCR (UK), FNVIR (CMC Vellore), EBIR (Spain) — Director and Chief Vascular Physician at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB Colony, Hyderabad, is one of the most internationally credentialled PAE specialists in Hyderabad with 12+ years of dedicated interventional radiology experience. Consultation fees are confirmed at booking and may be credited against the procedure cost. Call +91-73375 83901 or WhatsApp 73375 83901 with your prostate MRI for Dr. Garge's initial assessment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Prostate Artery Embolization in Hyderabad costs approximately Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 3,00,000 for a complete bilateral procedure at Citi Vascular Centre, KPHB — a range that reflects genuine clinical variation in procedure complexity, microsphere type, and what is included in the package. When compared honestly with the full economic cost of TURP surgery — including hospital ward admission, anaesthesia, catheter management, and 4–6 weeks of recovery — the total cost of PAE and TURP is more comparable than the headline procedure fees suggest.
The most important financial decision when choosing PAE is not to base it purely on the lowest quoted price. The quality of the microspheres, the experience of the interventional radiologist, the completeness of the pre-procedure assessment, and whether adequate follow-up imaging is included all directly affect your outcome — and a PAE that does not achieve adequate prostate reduction may require retreatment or ultimately TURP, erasing any initial cost saving.
