A Novel Balloon-Inflatable Catheter for Percutaneous Epidural Adhesiolysis and Decompression
Epidural adhesions cause pain by interfering with the free movement of the spinal nerves and increasing neural sensitivity as a consequence of neural compression. To remove adhesions and deliver injected drugs to target sites, percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis (PEA) is performed in patients who are unresponsive to conservative treatments. We describe four patients who were treated with a newly...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon valvuloplasty with Inoue balloon catheter technique for pulmonary valve stenosis in adolescents and adults.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is the procedure of choice for uncomplicated severe or symptomatic pulmonary stenosis. The present study describes our experience in balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty using the Inoue balloon catheter in adolescent and adult patients. AIMS To assess the immediate and mid-term outcomes of percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty with Inoue balloon...
متن کاملEvaluation of prognostic predictors of percutaneous adhesiolysis using a Racz catheter for post lumbar surgery syndrome or spinal stenosis.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous adhesiolysis (PA) is considered to be a reasonable nonoperative treatment for herniation of intervertebral disc (HIVD), spinal stenosis, and post-lumbar-surgery syndrome (PLSS). The success of PA depends on the removal of epidural fibrosis and drug delivery to the target region. However, prognostic predictors of the effects of PA are not well known. OBJECTIVE The aim o...
متن کاملA comparison of inpatient with outpatient balloon catheter cervical ripening: a pilot randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND One in four Australian births are induced. If cervical ripening using a prostaglandin is required, a pre-labour overnight hospitalisation and separation from family and support companions is necessary. Recent evidence shows that balloon catheter cervical ripening is just as effective as prostaglandins, but does not cause uterine stimulation. For women with low risk pregnancies, this ...
متن کاملStudy Protocol- Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections for Spinal Stenosis (LESS): a double-blind randomized controlled trial of epidural steroid injections for lumbar spinal stenosis among older adults
BACKGROUND Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most common causes of low back pain among older adults and can cause significant disability. Despite its prevalence, treatment of spinal stenosis symptoms remains controversial. Epidural steroid injections are used with increasing frequency as a less invasive, potentially safer, and more cost-effective treatment than surgery. However, there is a l...
