Knee Embolization (GAE)
A Great Option for Chronic Osteoarthritis Pain
If knee arthritis is limiting your daily activities but you're not ready for surgery, Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) might be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. This outpatient procedure targets the inflammation-driving blood vessels in the knee, helping reduce pain and restore function.
What Is GAE?
Performed in under 90 minutes, Dr. Nutting uses X-ray guidance to access the arteries around the knee and block off abnormal blood vessels with tiny particles. This reduces inflammation and pain—without surgery or joint injections.
Who Is a Candidate?
Patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis.
Those not ready for or wishing to avoid knee replacement.
Individuals who’ve failed physical therapy, medications, or injections.
Patients looking for a bridge solution before surgery.
- No hospital stay or general anesthesia

You’ll walk out of the clinic the same day. Most patients resume normal activities within 24–72 hours. Early data and experience show significant pain reduction and improved mobility lasting months to years.
