What this study is about

This trial is testing whether genicular artery embolization (GAE) is an effective treatment for knee pain from osteoarthritis. This procedure involves infusing microscopic spheres into the genicular artery to reduce blood flow and inflammation in the knee joint. It compares outcomes of people undergoing GAE with those who do not receive this treatment.
