Conditions
Interventions
genicular artery embolization
Super-selective embolization of abnormal genicular arteries supplying the painful synovium in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
Calibrated microspheres (100-300 µm)
Embolic microspheres used for occlusion of the targeted genicular arteries during embolization.
Microcatheter
A 2.0-2.4 Fr microcatheter used for super-selective catheterization of the genicular arteries.
