What to Expect When You Begin GAE Treatment in Georgia
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is changing the way we treat knee osteoarthritis—especially for people who are not candidates for surgery or want to avoid it. At Atlanta Embolization Centers, we guide you through each step of the process with care and expertise.
Step 1: Initial Evaluation
Take our free online pain assessment or schedule an appointment. We’ll review your medical history and symptoms to determine if GAE is the right fit for you.
Step 2: In-Person Consultation
A knee pain specialist will review your medical history and imaging results, answer your questions, and walk you through your treatment options.
Step 3: The Procedure
The GAE procedure is performed on an outpatient basis using image-guided techniques. Most patients return home the same day with minimal discomfort.
Frequently Asked Questions – GAE in Georgia
What is GAE used to treat?
Will I need physical therapy afterward?
Some patients may benefit from light therapy or exercise to improve mobility, but extensive rehab is not typically required after GAE.
What are the side effects of genicular artery embolization?
GAE is considered safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are some risks. Possible side effects include:
- Mild pain or bruising at the catheter site
- Temporary fatigue
- Low-grade fever or knee discomfort in the days following the procedure
- Rarely, non-target embolization or infection
Most side effects are short-lived and manageable. Your doctor will review all risks with you before the procedure.
Is genicular artery embolization painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anesthesia is used at the insertion site, and mild sedation helps you stay relaxed. You’ll remain awake but comfortable throughout the process.
