Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for osteoarthritis in your knee. It relieves pain and other arthritis symptoms without surgery.
What is GAE? Genicular artery embolization (GAE), or embolization of the knee, is a novel minimally-invasive procedure providing immediate and long term pain relief for patients with osteoarthritis (OA), by reducing the blood flow to the lining of the knee, known as the synovium.
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive procedure specifically designed to alleviate chronic knee pain stemming from osteoarthritis. It operates by selectively blocking blood flow to the genicular arteries, thereby reducing inflammation and pain in the knee joint.
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a novel, minimally invasive procedure that treats chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions.
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that blocks abnormal blood vessels feeding knee inflammation. Learn how it works, who qualifies, recovery, and costs.
This practical guide provides interventional radiologists with an overview of GAE, addressing patient selection, imaging techniques, procedural insights, and strategies for optimizing patient outcomes. NAVIGATING PATIENT SELECTION FOR GAE: CURRENT STATUS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a procedure that may help reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. GAE works by blocking the flow of blood to abnormal vessels around the knee joint to decrease inflammation and pain.
If you have osteoarthritis that is causing chronic knee pain, genicular artery embolization (GAE) may help you enjoy a better quality of life. At Northwestern Medicine, our multidisciplinary team tailors treatment plans to each patient’s needs.
