Genicular Artery embolisation in Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee (GENESIS) Using Permanent Microspheres: Long-Term Results.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the 2-year follow-up of patients with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA) treated with genicular artery embolisation (GAE) as part of the GENESIS study.

Materials and methods

Forty-six patients, median age = 60 (45-83) underwent GAE using permanent microspheres (100-300 μm). Technical success was defined as embolisation of the targeted genicular arteries. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (0-100 mm) were recorded at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 1, 2 years. Contrast-enhanced MRI knee scans were acquired at baseline and 1 year, and evaluated with the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS). Functional MRI brain imaging and psychometric assessments were undertaken to investigate correlation b
