Geniculate Artery Embolization
Status: Recruiting
In this clinical research study, the goal is to learn more about geniculate artery embolization (GAE) treatment. Embolization is a procedure where doctors block the blood vessels to certain areas of the body to stop blood flow to that area. In this research study, the geniculate artery in the knee will be blocked with a goal to decrease pain, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily activities caused by knee osteoarthritis. After gathering data on outcomes and safety from this small study, we will determine if a larger study will be reasonable.
