Safety and Efficacy of Genicular Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Embozene MicroSpheres for Knee Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease of Knee. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this clinical research study is to examine whether Embozene treatment of the genicular artery is a safe and effective way to treat arthritic knee pain. Embozene is a medical device made by Boston Scientific approved in the United States for the treatment of hypervascular tumors and arteriovenous malformations. It consists of thousands of microscopic spheres that are injected into the artery in the knee going to the region of pain. One of the causes of pain in the setting of knee arthritis is increased blood flow going to the specific area of pain. The goal of this procedure is to decrease the blood flow (embolize) to the specific region of the knee that is causing your pain. This is done by infusing Embozene particles into the specific blood vessel (genicular artery) supplying the area of pain in the knee.
