Genicular Artery Embolization for Knee Pain

did you do GAE to avoid TKR or to delay TKR? I am considering it for 2nd knee (1st had TKR) but wonder if can totally avoid TKR as the arthritis is not stopped by GAE.

Honestly, I did it to avoid TKR. My physical therapist told me about the GAE study, and I qualified. My other understanding is if one gets GAE, then they're still able to get TKR...but if one has had a TKR they wouldn't be eligible for GAE. Of course, I may have misunderstood. I know a few people, directly and indirectly, that indicated the TKR wasn't worth it. Anyway, for me, so far, so good.
