Genicular Artery Embolization

Osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, especially the knee joint. Traditional treatments for knee osteoarthritis include pain medications, physical therapy, and surgery, which can be costly and time-consuming.

However, there is a new treatment option available called Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE). GAE is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the blood vessels that supply the knee joint, reducing blood flow to the affected area and relieving pain.

The procedure involves inserting a small catheter into the artery that supplies blood to the knee joint. A special material is then injected through the catheter to block the blood vessels that are causing pain. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete.

GAE has several advantages over traditional treatments for knee osteoarthritis. It is minimally invasive, which means there is less pain, scarring, and a shorter recovery time. It is also cost-effective and can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day.
