What is Genicular Artery Embolization?
People who are dealing with knee arthritis and chronic knee pain associated with the condition often search for alternatives to undergoing surgery. Genicular artery embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that can help provide relief from chronic knee pain by targeting the underlying inflammation.
This procedure includes blocking the small blood vessels that transport blood to the inflamed areas of the knee, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation. By limiting the blood flow to the affected vessels, genicular artery embolization provides improved joint function and long-lasting relief from the pain without any surgical intervention.
As genicular artery embolization is a minimally invasive procedure, it offers several benefits that make it a good alternative to surgical procedures, including reduced pain, minimal complications, improved joint function, and mobility. It is essential to get this procedure done by a skilled and experienced interventional radiologist like Dr. Basavaraj Biradar to ensure safety and desired outcomes.
Who Can Undergo Genicular Artery Embolization?
Genicular artery embolization is a minimally invasive treatment option for people looking for the alleviation of chronic knee pain and osteoarthritis in the knee. The following are some of the candidates who can undergo genicular artery embolization:
- People who are aged between 40 and 80 years
- Individuals dealing with severe to moderate knee pain
- Individuals who wish to delay knee replacement surgery
- Patients who have not found relief from the conservative treatment options
- Who is looking for a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
- Patients who are too young and are not medically fit for the procedure
- Seeking a less invasive option as compared to traditional procedures
What Happens Under The Genicular Artery Embolization Procedure?
It is a minimally invasive procedure done for the treatment of painful osteoarthritis of the knee. This procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist who applies local anesthesia to the area where the catheter will be inserted. After the sedation, your doctor will make a small puncture in your thigh to access the artery. Through the opening, a catheter is inserted, which releases tiny embolic particles into the genicular arteries—small blood vessels that supply the inflamed areas of the knee. These particles block the blood flow to the inflamed tissue, reducing inflammation and pain without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
What Are The Benefits Of Genicular Artery Embolization?
Genicular artery embolization is a medical procedure that is used to treat knee pain related to osteoarthritis. This minimally invasive procedure blocks the small arteries around the knee to reduce pain and inflammation and includes the following benefits:
- Provides relief from chronic knee pain
- By reducing inflammation, the procedure allows improved mobility.
- A minimally invasive and non-surgical option as compared to knee replacement
- Provides long-lasting results
