Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a novel, minimally invasive procedure increasingly recognized as a safe and effective treatment for chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions. It is an alternative to knee replacement for patients who haven't found relief from other treatments.
During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into the artery leading to the painful area, and tiny particles are injected to create an embolism and block the vessel, preventing blood from reaching the inflamed tissue.[1] When blood flow is restricted to an inflamed area, the inflammation subsides due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients needed for the inflammatory process. By reducing inflammation, the pain signals sent to the brain are diminished, leading to pain relief.[2]
