For chronic knee pain genicular artery embolization provides a new alternative

The procedure was "remarkably" successful. That`s how Cynthia Schraf-Fletcher, 74, describes her experience with genicular artery embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive procedure that treats chronic knee pain. Nearly a year after the outpatient surgery on her right knee, Schraf-Fletcher says the outcome is nearly identical to the total knee replacement she previously had on her left knee.
