Genicular Artery Embolization Treatment is an advanced minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, particularly in patients who wish to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis leads to inflammation of the knee joint lining, abnormal blood vessel formation, and progressive cartilage damage, resulting in persistent pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Traditional management often includes pain medications, physiotherapy, and steroid injections, which may provide temporary relief but do not directly address the underlying inflammatory process. Genicular artery embolization works by precisely targeting the small abnormal blood vessels around the knee joint that contribute to chronic inflammation and pain. Using image-guided techniques, a microcatheter is inserted through a small puncture, usually in the groin or wrist, and advanced to the genicular arteries supplying the knee. Tiny particles are then injected to block these abnormal vessels, reducing inflammation and significantly improving pain. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, requires no major incision, and typically allows patients to return home the same day. Dr Raghav Seth Interventional Radiologist offers specialized expertise in performing genicular artery embolization with high precision and safety using advanced imaging technology. Careful patient evaluation, including clinical assessment and imaging studies, ensures appropriate case selection and improved outcomes. Many patients experience gradual pain reduction and improved joint function within weeks of the procedure. This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals who are not suitable candidates for surgery or prefer a non-surgical approach. Consultation with Dr Raghav Seth Interventional Radiologist provides access to modern, evidence-based genicular artery embolization treatment that focuses on reducing knee pain, enhancing mobility, and improving overall quality of life through safe and targeted interventional radiology techniques.
