Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment (GAE)
Advanced minimally invasive Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
What Is Knee Osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the knee. As the cartilage wears down, bones begin to rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. At Pacific Coast Vein and Vascular Institute, we offer Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce inflammation and pain by targeting the blood supply contributing to joint inflammation.
Who It Helps
Chronic knee pain
Pain when walking or climbing stairs
Knee stiffness after rest
Swelling around the knee joint
Reduced mobility or flexibility
Pain not relieved by medications
Limited response to physical therapy
GAE may benefit patients suffering from chronic knee osteoarthritis who have not responded adequately to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections, and who wish to avoid or delay surgery.

Image-Guided Vascular Pain Intervention
Advanced interventional techniques that target the blood vessels contributing to chronic inflammation, offering an alternative option for patients seeking non-surgical relief.
