Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) – Minimally Invasive Knee Pain Relief
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. GAE targets abnormal blood flow in the small arteries surrounding the knee, which may help reduce inflammation and pain.
Before treatment, your physician will review your symptoms, imaging, medical history, and previous treatments to determine whether GAE is right for you.
Why Choose RJIR?
- Minimally Invasive Treatment – Small catheter access with no major surgery or large incision.
- Image-Guided Precision – Advanced imaging helps your physician target the arteries supplying the knee.
- Personalized Care – Your treatment plan is based on your symptoms, imaging, medical history, and individual needs.
What to Expect with Genicular Artery Embolization
- Before Treatment – Follow your physician's instructions about fasting and medications. Do not stop medications unless directed by your medical team.
- During the Procedure – A thin catheter is guided through a small puncture in the wrist or groin. Imaging identifies the targeted genicular arteries, and tiny particles are carefully delivered to reduce abnormal blood flow.
- After Treatment – You will be monitored during recovery. Temporary soreness, bruising, knee discomfort, or fatigue may occur.
- Recovery & Results – Pain and mobility may improve gradually over several weeks. Individual results vary, and additional arthritis treatment may still be needed.
