Frequently Asked Questions
We provide answers to common questions about treatments, recovery, and orthopedic care for better understanding.
What is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE)?
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure used to treat chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. It involves blocking small blood vessels in the knee that are contributing to inflammation and pain.
How does GAE work?
A doctor uses a tiny catheter to access the inflamed arteries in your knee. They then inject microscopic particles that safely and effectively block blood flow to the inflamed areas, significantly reducing pain and swelling.
Is GAE a surgical procedure?
No, GAE is a non-surgical procedure. It is performed through a small incision in the groin or wrist and does not require general anesthesia or a hospital stay.
What is the recovery time like?
Recovery is typically very quick. Most patients can walk immediately after the procedure and return to their normal daily activities within a few days.
What are the potential risks of GAE?
GAE is considered a very safe procedure. Potential risks are minimal and may include minor bruising, temporary swelling, or discomfort at the injection site. Serious complications are extremely rare.
