Relief From Knee Osteoarthritis – Without Surgery
What is Genicular Artery Embolisation?
- Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is an innovative, minimally invasive procedure that helps relieve chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA).
- During the procedure, a doctor gently guides a thin tube (catheter) into the arteries around the knee. Tiny medical particles are then injected into these arteries to reduce blood flow to the areas causing pain and inflammation.
- By blocking these abnormal blood vessels, GAE helps decrease pain signals without harming the surrounding healthy tissues.
