If you’re one of the millions dealing with chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, you know how much it can impact your daily life. Climbing stairs becomes a task, morning walks feel like a chore, and even getting up from a chair can be uncomfortable. While traditional treatments like medications, physiotherapy, and surgery have helped many, there’s now a breakthrough alternative that’s changing lives—Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE).
At the forefront of this innovative treatment in Delhi is Dr. Nikhil Chaudhari, a leading GAE Specialist at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, who is bringing new hope to patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis.
What is Genicular Artery Embolization?
Genicular Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis by targeting the tiny arteries around the knee—known as genicular arteries. In osteoarthritic knees, these arteries often become inflamed and overactive, supplying excess blood to the damaged tissues and triggering chronic pain.
Using advanced imaging guidance, Dr. Nikhil Chaudhari carefully inserts a catheter through a small incision and navigates it to the knee’s blood vessels. Tiny particles are then injected to block—or embolize—the abnormal blood flow to the inflamed areas. The result? Significant pain relief without the need for open surgery.
Why Choose GAE Over Traditional Treatments?
While knee replacement surgery remains a viable option for many, it’s not suitable for everyone—especially those who are older, have health complications, or simply want to avoid the risks and downtime of major surgery. Here’s why more patients are turning to GAE:
- Minimally Invasive: No stitches, no large incisions.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients return to daily activities within days.
- Outpatient Procedure: No hospital stay required.
- Long-Lasting Relief: Studies and real-world results show sustained pain reduction for many patients.
