Press Release

SOMERSET, KY October 10, 2025 — Southern Kentucky Vascular is proud to announce the addition of Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) to its range of advanced vascular treatment options. This innovative, minimally invasive procedure is now available under the care of Dr. Don W. Brown, a board-certified vascular surgeon with decades of expertise in treating complex vascular conditions.

GAE is an emerging treatment for patients suffering from chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, offering an alternative for individuals who have not found relief through conservative therapies such as medications, injections, or physical therapy. The procedure works by reducing abnormal blood flow to inflamed knee tissues, easing pain and improving mobility—without the need for major surgery.

“Many patients are searching for solutions that allow them to stay active and avoid or delay knee replacement surgery,” said Dr. Don W. Brown. “With GAE, we can offer a safe, effective treatment option that is performed on an outpatient basis and tailored to the individual’s needs.”

At Southern Kentucky Vascular, patient-centered care remains the highest priority. By introducing GAE, the practice continues to lead the region in providing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedures that improve quality of life and expand treatment options for those with vascular and circulation-related conditions.
