Living with ongoing knee pain can make everyday activities difficult. For some people with knee osteoarthritis, genicular artery embolization (GAE) may be an option worth exploring. This minimally invasive, image-guided procedure targets abnormal blood vessels around the knee that may contribute to inflammation and pain.
What Is Genicular Artery Embolization?
It is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. Using imaging guidance, the doctor
carefully guides a thin catheter into specific arteries around the knee. Tiny particles are then used to reduce blood flow through selected abnormal vessels associated with inflammation. Unlike open surgery, this process does not require a large incision and may allow for a quicker recovery in suitable patients.
