If knee pain is keeping you from walking comfortably, staying active, or enjoying time with family, you're not alone. At Endovascular Consultants of Delaware, we offer Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE)—a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. With GAE, many patients experience a dramatic reduction in pain—going from 8/10 to 3/10 pain levels within days.
GAE is a non-surgical procedure that uses imaging guidance to target the abnormal blood vessels contributing to inflammation in your knee joint. By blocking these vessels, we reduce inflammation and pain—without removing tissue or replacing your joint.
