Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Interventions
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging

Background:

  • Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA).
  • Traditional GAE uses femoral artery access, which can be associated with certain complications.
  • Pedal artery access is an emerging alternative for lower extremity interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a single-operator technique for GAE using pedal artery access.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of pedal access for GAE.
  • To present an alternative to traditional femoral access for genicular interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Pre-procedural duplex ultrasound for vessel assessment.
  • Ultrasound-guided access of the dorsalis pedis or distal posterior tibial artery.
  • Selective genicular branch catheterization using mini-RIM catheter and "Jabada" technique.
  • Embolization to reduce hypervascularity while preserving flow.

Main Results:

  • Successful GAE via pedal access was demonstrated.
  • The technique allows for efficient workflow.
  • Reduced radiation and contrast utilization were observed.
  • Early ambulation was facilitated for patients.

Conclusions:

  • Pedal artery access is a feasible and practical alternative to femoral access for GAE.
  • This approach offers potential advantages in terms of efficiency and patient recovery.
  • Further research may explore broader adoption of this technique for genicular interventions.
