Contrast flow selectivity during transforaminal lumbosacral epidural steroid injections.
BACKGROUND Lumbosacral transforaminal epidural steroid injections (LS-TFESIs) are an accepted procedure used in the comprehensive, conservative care for lumbar disc pathology and/or spinal stenosis induced low back pain with a radicular component. Historically, the terminology used to describe the transforaminal technique of instilling medications into the epidural space and/or exiting structur...

STUDY DESIGN A prospective, observational, human, in vivo study. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence of vascular penetration during fluoroscopically guided, contrast-enhanced, transforaminal lumbar epidural steroid injections (ESIs) and determine whether a "flash" (blood in the needle hub) or aspiration of blood can be used to predict a vascular injection. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Incorr...

(TFESIs) play an important role in the conservative treatment of the symptoms of neck pain with a radicular component secondary to cervical herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) or spinal stenosis (1-3). Although some investigators have reported no serious complications resulting from the use of cervical TFESIs, recent reports emphasize the risks of this procedure, including a high incidence of ...
متن کاملContrast Spread in the Superoposterior Approach of Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections for Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
OBJECTIVE To observe the contrast spread in superoposterior transforaminal epidural steroid injection (SP TFESI) and investigate the correlation between spread patterns and efficacy. METHODS Thirty-one patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy underwent single-level TFESI under fluoroscopy. The final needle tip position was targeted toward the SP quadrant of the intervertebral foramen. To obser...
متن کاملTransforaminal lumbar epidural steroid injections.
Low back pain is an important medical, social, and economic problem involving approximately 15% to 39% of the population.
