Frequently Asked Questions

What is GAE (Genicular Artery Embolization)?

GAE is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces knee pain by decreasing blood flow to inflamed areas, targeting the small arteries that contribute to pain and inflammation.

GAE typically takes 1-2 hours to complete, depending on individual patient factors.

Candidates for GAE include those suffering from chronic knee pain, especially from osteoarthritis, who have not responded well to conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections.

The procedure is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. A local anesthetic is used, and patients often report mild soreness afterward, which typically resolves quickly.

Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days, with some experiencing immediate pain relief. Full recovery and pain improvement can take up to a few weeks.

How Effective is GAE?

Studies show that GAE significantly reduces knee pain for many patients, especially those with osteoarthritis. The results can last for months to years, depending on individual factors.

GAE is considered safe, but like any procedure, there are risks, including mild bruising, soreness, or rare complications like infection or unintended embolization.

Most major insurance providers, including Medicare, cover GAE for eligible patients. Contact your provider to confirm coverage.

GAE is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment with significantly less downtime compared to knee replacement surgery, making it an excellent option for patients seeking relief without major surgery.

Many patients report a reduction in pain within days to weeks after the procedure, with ongoing improvement over time.
