Session 1: Foundations & Fundamentals of GAE

This session covers the essential building blocks – from conventional OA treatment background and patient selection through core GAE techniques, anatomy review, and alternative approaches like genicular nerve ablation.

• Knee OA review of conventional treatments and outcomes
• Patient selection for GAE
• Review of anatomy and anastomosis
• Technique of GAE and optimization of angiographic
• detection of neovessels
• Genicular nerve ablation for OA
• Panel Discussion

Session 2: Clinical Outcomes & Advanced Applications

This session focuses on real-world results, complications management, comparative effectiveness studies, and expanding GAE applications beyond traditional osteoarthritis, along with challenging case presentations and future directions.

• GAE results and complications
• GAE outside OA (hemarthrosis, chondromalacia, TKA, sport etc)
• GAE versus sham is the way
• GAE versus corticoïdes injections is the way
• How to improve GAE outcomes in OA and future directions
• Case 1: My most difficult case
• Case 2: My Ideal case for permanent material
• Case 3: Anastomosis matters
• Case 4: Sports injuries
• Case 5: Lipiojoints in a complex arterial anatomy
• Panel Discussion
