Being told you “need a new knee” can feel final. But for many New Yorkers with osteoarthritis or stubborn knee pain, surgery isn’t the only path. Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) targets the tiny blood vessels that feed inflammation inside the joint—helping calm pain without the scars, hospital stay, or long rehab that come with a replacement.

At Premier Vascular NY, our team performs GAE as an outpatient procedure using precise, catheter-based techniques. Most patients walk out the same day and return to routine activities quickly. If you’ve delayed work, travel, or family plans because of knee pain—or you were told replacement is your “only option”—it’s worth getting a second look. Learn more about GAE here.

Why people choose GAE: no large incision, no implant, and a recovery measured in days—not months. Our specialists evaluate your imaging, symptoms, and goals, then personalize a plan that may help you avoid or postpone surgery while restoring everyday mobility. Results vary, but the intent is clear: reduce pain drivers at the source and get you back to life faster. See if you’re a candidate.
