Description
Mohmmed Margni and co-authors set out a technique paper in 2026 on treating painful knee arthritis from inside the blood vessels. Blocking overgrown small arteries around the knee can ease pain, and the entry point is usually the groin artery.
Drawing on more than ten years of practice, the team instead enters through a foot artery, checking it first with ultrasound. Guided by live X-ray pictures, they steer a fine catheter into the knee branches using a no-wire method, then reduce the excess blood flow while keeping normal flow. They report faster walking after the procedure, plus lower radiation and dye use, making foot entry a practical option.
