Case of the Week: Geniculate Artery Embolization

Severe persistent knee pain after knee replacement can be incredibly frustrating, especially when the implant looks stable and traditional options have not helped.

In select patients, geniculate artery embolization can target abnormal periarticular hypervascularity and inflammation around the knee through a minimally invasive outpatient procedure.

This before-and-after angiogram shows treatment of abnormal genicular arterial blush, with reduction after embolization.

Recurrent bleeding after knee replacement can be frustrating for both patients and surgeons. In this case, angiography identified abnormal hypervascular tissue surrounding the prosthesis. After selective geniculate artery embolization, the abnormal blush resolved and the bleeding source was eliminated. A minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed through a tiny catheter, often allowing patients to avoid additional surgery.

GENICULATE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION CASE OF THE WEEK

This patient continued to experience painful episodes of bleeding after knee replacement surgery. Angiography identified abnormal hypervascular tissue surrounding the prosthesis (left image).

Using a tiny catheter, we selectively embolized the abnormal geniculate artery branches feeding the bleeding source. The result? Resolution of the vascular blush and elimination of the bleeding source (right image).

✓ Outpatient procedure✓ No surgical incision✓ Approximately 30 minutes✓ Same-day discharge

Sometimes the solution isn’t another operation—it’s finding and treating the exact source of the problem.

Recurrent bleeding and pain after knee replacement can be incredibly frustrating.

This patient underwent Geniculate Artery Embolization (G*E) — a minimally invasive procedure targeting abnormal inflamed blood vessels around the knee. Total procedure took 45 minutes without any incisions.

➡️ BEFORE: Significant vascular blush consistent with ongoing bleeding/inflammation
➡️ AFTER: Resolution of the blush following targeted embolization

Less bleeding. Less inflammation. Improved pain.
No large incision. No revision surgery.

At Connecticut Vascular Center, we offer advanced minimally invasive options for complex joint-related vascular conditions.

Endovascular case of the week: pelvic congestion syndrome

Chronic pelvic pain isn’t always “normal.”
Sometimes it’s a leaking ovarian vein — and a minimally invasive procedure in under 30 minutes can change everything.

You shouldn’t dread warmer weather because of your legs.

If you’re covering up varicose veins, dealing with heaviness, swelling, aching, or tired legs by the end of the day — it may be more than cosmetic.

The good news: modern vein treatment is minimally invasive, office-based, and designed for fast recovery.

Shorts season is coming.
Feel confident again.

When an aneurysm becomes complex, the stakes are higher — but so are the options.

Dr. Thompson and Dr. Coyle recently performed a fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) at MidState Medical Center.

For patients, this diagnosis can be overwhelming — especially when the aneurysm is close to arteries that supply the kidneys and other vital organs. Traditionally, this meant a large operation and a long recovery.

Today, in many cases, we can treat this from the inside.

Through small access points — without large incisions — a precisely designed graft is positioned to repair the aneurysm while preserving blood flow to critical organs.

✔️ No large incisions
✔️ Completed in under 90 minutes
✔️ Faster recovery
✔️ Back to life sooner

This is what modern vascular care looks like — combining advanced technology with experience and precision to offer patients safer, less invasive solutions.

At Connecticut Vascular Center, this level of care isn’t the exception — it’s what we strive to deliver every day.

Pelvic pain isn’t always gynecologic — it’s often venous.

A simple, minimally invasive procedure using targeted coil embolization treats the source.

Before: Dilated, refluxing pelvic veins on angiography

After: Veins closed. Flow normalized. Symptoms improve

You can see the difference — and patients feel it.
