Among the attendees representing MCR were two of our esteemed interventional radiologists: Dr. Shashidhara Murthy and Dr. Adam Lustig. Their presence at the MCR PAE event allowed them to engage directly with the community, share insights about our practice and highlight the minimally invasive benefits of Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE).
