What Is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE)?

Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive procedure to relieve knee pain, especially in non-responsive patients. Tiny particles are injected into the genicular arteries, blocking blood flow to the inflamed knee area thus reducing inflammation and pain. These arteries supply blood to the knee joint, and in chronic knee pain, they enlarge, causing excessive blood flow, inflammation, and pain. GAE targets these arteries, reducing blood flow and alleviating pain.

How Does GAE Work?

GAE involves inserting a small catheter into the artery in your upper thigh. They release tiny particles to block blood flow, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. The procedure typically takes about 2 hours, and patients can resume normal activities within a few days. The best part? GAE provides long-lasting relief from chronic knee pain, allowing patients to enjoy their daily activities without discomfort.
