AVENTURA, Fla., Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Vivid Vascular, a boutique-style medical facility created by interventional radiologist Dr. Adam S. Gropper, diagnoses and treats medical and cosmetic vascular disorders with a patient-centric approach, using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technology.
Dr. Gropper is pleased to announce the addition of genicular artery embolization (GAE) to their list of services for treating knee osteoarthritis. This innovative procedure has shown promising results in reducing pain and improving mobility in patients suffering from this debilitating condition.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common form of arthritis that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in the joints, resulting in stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion. While there are various treatment options available for OA, many patients continue to experience persistent pain and limited function despite these interventions.
GAE is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the genicular arteries, the small blood vessels responsible for supplying blood to the knee joint. By blocking these arteries using tiny particles, GAE effectively reduces inflammation and decreases pain in the affected area. This approach differs from traditional treatments like corticosteroid injections or oral medications, which only provide temporary relief.
One of the key benefits of GAE is its minimal recovery time. Unlike surgeries such as knee replacement, which can take weeks or months to heal, patients typically resume their daily activities within a few days after the procedure. Additionally, GAE has been shown to have a lower risk of serious side effects compared to other treatments for OA.
"We are excited to offer GAE as an alternative treatment option for our patients with knee osteoarthritis," says Dr. Gropper. "We understand the impact that this condition can have on an individual's quality of life, and we believe that GAE will make a significant difference in managing their symptoms."
As a leader in the field of interventional radiology, Vivid Vascular is constantly seeking new and innovative ways to improve patient outcomes and provide more effective solutions for various medical conditions. The addition of GAE to their services is a testament to their commitment to staying at the forefront of advancements in healthcare.
