Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common degenerative condition that can lead to long-term pain, reduced mobility, and decreased quality of life, and some patients do not achieve sufficient relief with standard treatments. The study is based on the hypothesis that targeted embolization of small arteries supplying the inflamed tissues of the knee can safely reduce abnormal blood flow associated with inflammation, leading to pain relief and improved knee function. During the procedure, a thin catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the affected area of the knee, where a temporary embolic agent is administered to reduce pathological blo
