I was having a problem with my right hip...It was hard for me to walk...Climbing stairs was a real effort...They took care of it...my hip didn't bother me anymore. I could walk without pain. Going up and down stairs was not a problem. It was amazing how that worked...If you have a lot of pain, you know what that does to you...was amazing...And then my mobility was much much better.

about the procedure

Outpatient GAE and MSK Embolization

Learn about our unique technique

Technique

A small catheter is inserted into the foot or groin, which is then advanced under fluoroscopic guidance to the painful area such as the knee, where target embolization is performed

Pre-Op

No standard preop workup is required for GAE or other MSK embolization, making it a very accessible treatment option

Post-Op

A small bandage is placed over the access site and the patient is monitored in a recovery bay for a short period before discharge.

Recovery & Follow-Up

Routine recovery is handled at home with well established instructions and the performing IR physician follows up with the patient

FAQ

Treating your pain can feel daunting. We're here to help you answer questions so you can make the right decision for yourself.

How long will it take or when will I start to feel better/relief/something?

Every patient is different. Some feel some relief within a few days but can take several weeks.

What happens if this does not work and I still have pain?

Most patients do great with treatments. But if not, there are other options and HAE doesn't prevent you from trying any other options.

How often can I have this done?

Usually this treatment is only needed one time. Every person is different and it’s important to keep your follow up visit to discuss if repeating a procedure ever becomes necessary.

Is it going to hurt? Make me worse?

Some numbing medicine is used at the very start of the procedure, which stings for a second, but after that most of the procedure is painless or has very little pain. There is slight discomfort after the procedure but you should improve quickly and can manage with ice and sometimes some over the counter medications.
