Episode 7: Genicular Artery Embolization for Knee OA

In this episode of Teaching Knee Surgeons with AI, we examine genicular artery embolization (GAE) as a non-surgical treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. This minimally invasive procedure targets abnormal periarticular neovessels associated with inflammation and pain, offering symptom relief particularly in early-stage osteoarthritis. We discuss the proposed mechanisms, patient selection, clinical outcomes, and current evidence supporting this emerging therapy. An evidence-informed overview for clinicians interested in expanding non-operative treatment strategies for knee OA. Enjoy listening. 🎧
