For patients suffering from intractable pain due to knee osteoarthritis, genicular artery embolization (GAE) offers a minimally invasive treatment with potential long-term benefits. Dr. Mark Little, an interventional radiologist at Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, joins us to provide an introduction to GAE. He shares his experience with the procedure and compares it to other treatments, such as steroid injections and surgery. Dr. Little also discusses the disease process of osteoarthritis and explains how GAE targets abnormal blood vessels to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
