If rfa fails, they as far as I’m concerned, can either live with it or move on to a pain doc who wants to fight insurance companies and the patient when whatever is left doesn’t work. I’m too many years in and just can’t be bothered so much anymore
It looks safe for native knees. But after watching the explanation in that video, now I’m wondering how well genicular artery embolization works for painful knees post TKA??
Agree that it is likely pricy for a 2 hr procedure. However if Medicare wants to skimp on what they pay for genicular RFA, then I can just send people to IR for genicular embolization and maybe it costs Medicare much more. But that is Medicare’s fault for offering peanuts to pain docs.
