Digital subtraction angiography images of the right knee joint of a 62-year-old participant with predominantly medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). (A) Periinterventional image of the popliteal artery. Yellow arrow indicates the descending genicular artery, and blue arrow indicates the medial inferior genicular artery. (B, C) Selective preinterventional images show hypervascularity of two branches of the genicular artery: the (B) descending genicular artery (arrow) and the (C) medial inferior genicular artery (arrow). (D, E) Selective postinterventional images obtained after embolization with rapidly resorbable gelatin-based microspheres. Knee pain suffered by millions of people can be eased for at least 12 months using a non-surgical procedure, according to new research.Genicular artery embolisation, or GAE, is an emerging minimally invasive treatment that targets abnormal blood vessels in osteoarthritis patients.
