A Non-Surgical Option for Osteoarthritis Sufferers in North Texas
If knee arthritis is affecting your ability to walk, exercise, or enjoy life—and you’re not ready for a knee replacement—Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) at Elite Minimally Invasive Specialists (EMIS) may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
Genicular Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that reduces blood flow to inflamed parts of the knee, easing pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis.
“GAE is a game-changer for many patients struggling with knee arthritis but not ready for joint replacement.”
— Dr. Jay Patel, Interventional Radiologist at EMIS
You may benefit from GAE if you:
Have moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis
Have persistent pain despite medications or injections
Want to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery
A tiny catheter is inserted through a pinhole in the leg
Tiny particles are used to block inflamed knee arteries
The knee gets relief from inflammation—without cutting or implants
Average procedure time: 60–90 minutes
Most patients walk out the same day
Significant pain relief in 75–85% of patients
Improved mobility and quality of life
Results that can last up to 2–3 years or longer
Most major insurance plans including Medicare cover Genicular Artery Embolization. We help confirm your benefits before treatment.
Don’t let knee pain control your life. See if GAE is right for you.
