Can't walk because of knee pain? This could save your legs AND your knees!
Join hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips as they interview interventional cardiologist Dr. Sid Rao about Genicular Arterial Embolization (GAE) – a groundbreaking minimally-invasive procedure targeting the root cause of osteoarthritis knee pain.
What makes GAE revolutionary:
• Performed through a tiny nick in the skin
• Targets inflamed blood vessels feeding the painful knee
• Can provide significant pain relief without major surgery
• Potentially delays or eliminates the need for knee replacement
• Quick recovery compared to surgical alternatives
This innovation is especially crucial for peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients caught in a dangerous cycle: They need to walk to improve circulation and grow natural bypasses around blocked arteries, but knee arthritis pain prevents them from this essential exercise.
Dr. Rao will explain how this procedure works, who's an ideal candidate, and how it could be a game-changer for maintaining mobility and independence.
