Abstract
This technical review provides a comprehensive overview of spinal tumor ablation and vertebral augmentation. These percutaneous minimally invasive procedures offer significant survival and palliative pain relief benefits for patients with pathological vertebral fractures. Vertebral augmentation, which includes vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, involves injecting cement into fractured vertebral bodies to restore height. While vertebroplasty involves the direct injection of cement into a fractured vertebral body, kyphoplasty involves using a balloon to create a low-pressure cavity to allow for cement injection to restore the vertebral body height. Over the years, this technique has evolved into a straightforward process, though it presents certain technical challenges discussed in this article.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
