Creation of a Prospective Data Collecting Registry for Genicular Artery Embolization for Arthritis (GAE)
The goal of this study is to create a prospective registry (\<100 patients) to show the effectiveness of the genicular artery embolization procedure overtime in reducing bilateral or unilateral osteoarthritic knee pain as measured by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score.
• Patients aged \>=18
• Bilateral or unilateral knee pain attributed to knee osteoarthritis (KOA). For bilateral KOA patients, the more severe knee will be permitted inclusion to the registry
• Grade 1-3 Osteoarthritis as diagnosed on standing weight-bearing knee radiographs per the Kellen-Lawrence Grading scale
• Knee pain \>6 months refractory to conservative medical management (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, etc.)
• Not eligible for surgical knee replacement or patient's personal preference to undergo Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for reasons such as minimally invasiveness of GAE
