Understanding
Geniculate Artery Embolization
Geniculate Artery Embolization (GAE) is an innovative procedure aimed at reducing knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. It involves blocking the geniculate arteries, which are responsible for supplying blood to the inflamed tissues around the knee joint. By interrupting the blood flow to these areas, GAE reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and improves mobility without the need for surgery.

Benefits of
GAE
Non-Surgical
GAE is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed using local anesthesia and a small incision, resulting in minimal discomfort and a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Long-lasting Relief
Clinical studies have shown that GAE can provide significant and sustained pain relief for patients with knee osteoarthritis, allowing them to enjoy improved mobility and quality of life.
Preserves Joint Integrity
Unlike surgical options such as knee replacement, GAE does not involve removing or altering the joint structures, preserving joint integrity, and minimizing the risk of complications.
Outpatient Procedure
GAE is typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day as the procedure and resume their normal activities shortly after that.
