What to Expect When You Begin GAE Treatment in Oklahoma
Residents of Oregon can now access Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE)—a cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure for relieving knee osteoarthritis pain—through our trusted partner, Advanced Vascular Centers – Eugene.
GAE works by reducing inflammation in the knee joint through a safe, outpatient process. Here’s what your journey looks like:
Step 1: Determine Eligibility
See if you’re a candidate for genicular artery embolization for knee osteoarthritis by scheduling a consultation or taking a free online assessment.
Step 2: Personalized 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 GAE Procedure
The GAE procedure is performed on an outpatient basis using image-guided techniques. Most patients return home the same day with minimal discomfort.
Genicular artery embolization FAQs
What is GAE and how does it help with knee pain?
Genicular artery embolization is a minimally invasive procedure for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, especially in patients who want to avoid or delay surgery. Using a small catheter, an interventional radiologist blocks specific arteries (genicular arteries) that supply blood to inflamed areas of the knee joint.
By reducing blood flow to these regions, GAE helps decrease inflammation and pain over time—without the need for surgery.
Is GAE available in Oregon?
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.
What is the recovery time after GAE?
Recovery is typically quick. Most patients return to light activity within a few days and resume normal routines within a week. Because GAE doesn’t involve cutting into the joint or removing tissue, it offers a much faster and less painful recovery than surgical alternatives.
