“…GAE has been shown to be less expensive than cyclooxygenase-2-selective drugs and hyaluronic acid injections, but more costly in comparison with oral NSAIDs 51,55 . The estimated cost of GAE is approximately $3,095.75, which can vary depending on the embolizing agents used 56,57 . While nonsurgical methods, including NSAIDs, cost between $494 and $684 per year 58,59 , surgical treatments, such as TKA, cost an average of $20,293 58 .…”

“…Although GAE is comparatively less expensive than other treatment options, it is important to note that it is an invasive procedure, and there may be additional long-term costs for nonresponsive patients 30 . To enhance the generalizability of GAE as a treatment option, further clinical research is necessary to evaluate its efficacy relative to alternative methods and to minimize the likelihood of patients requiring additional surgical procedures after GAE 57 .…”

» Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a promising treatment option for patients with knee osteoarthritis who are unresponsive to nonsurgical treatments and not yet candidates for surgery.» Current evidence supports the effectiveness of GAE in reducing pain and synovitis, with few reported major adverse events.» The cost-effectiveness and long-term results of GAE compared with other treatment options require further investigation.» Limitations of existing studies include small sample sizes, single-center trials, and lack of comparison between embolic agents and other treatments.» Future research should focus on larger, multicenter trials with longer follow-up periods and head-to-head comparisons with alternative treatment modalities to establish the role of GAE in the management of knee osteoarthritis.
