In osteoarthritis, the knee joint undergoes degeneration, leading to inflammation and abnormal vessel formation around the joint lining. These vessels release pain-causing inflammatory substances. Genicular Artery Embolization blocks these vessels selectively, reducing inflammation and breaking the pain cycle.
Unlike surgery, this approach preserves the knee structure and avoids long recovery periods.
The Genicular Artery Embolization procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist using advanced imaging systems. A tiny catheter is guided precisely into the arteries supplying the knee. Embolic material is injected carefully to stop abnormal blood flow.
After the procedure:
Patients walk within hours
No stitches or scars
Minimal discomfort
Return to routine activities in a few days
Pain relief improves gradually over weeks as inflammation reduces
Clinical studies show that Genicular Artery Embolization provides sustained pain relief and improved knee function in many patients. Because it is minimally invasive and image-guided, the procedure carries a low risk of complications.
For patients seeking a safe, effective, and surgery-free solution, Genicular Artery Embolization represents the future of knee pain management.
JJIREVC a pioneering initiative by JJ Hospital, brings world-class minimally invasive treatments to Madurai for the very first time.
