Geniculate Artery Embolization | Astra Vein & Vascular

Solution ForChronic Knee Pain

Welcome to our advanced solution for chronic knee pain. Our GAE procedure offers a minimally invasive option for those seeking lasting relief from osteoarthritis or chronic knee pain.

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.

GAE is an ideal solution for individuals grappling with moderate to severe arthritis, especially those who have already explored physical therapy (PT) and other treatments but prefer to steer clear of knee replacement surgery—like the majority of the population. This procedure offers significant relief from the discomfort associated with osteoarthritis while circumventing the need for extensive, invasive procedures. It's a game-changer for those seeking effective pain management without the risks of major surgery.
