Ten patients with painful early-stage knee osteoarthritis underwent transcatheter arterial embolization of neoangiogenic branches from genicular arteries. At 12 months, 6 patients had responded to treatment according to study criteria. Median pain, function, and quality-of-life scores had improved by 15.4%, 21.3%, and 100%, respectively, for the 10 patients. Median 30-second chair stand test and 6-minute walk test scores had improved by 43% and 26%, respectively. No major adverse events occurred. Improvements following transcatheter arterial embolization provide evidence that embolization might be an effective treatment technique for people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis, although more rigorous evaluation is required.
10例早期膝关节骨性关节炎疼痛患者接受了经导管动脉栓塞术，栓塞膝动脉新生血管分支。12个月时，根据研究标准，6例患者治疗有效。10例患者的疼痛、功能和生活质量评分中位数分别提高了15.4%、21.3%和100%。30秒椅子站立试验和6分钟步行试验评分中位数分别提高了43%和26%。未发生重大不良事件。经导管动脉栓塞术后的改善表明，栓塞术可能是早期膝关节骨性关节炎患者的一种有效治疗技术，尽管还需要更严格的评估。
