Transgrade Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation as a Salvage Technique for Three Different Anatomical Barriers: A Case Series
ConclusionBarriers to anterograde foraminal access including previous implantation, previous instrumentation, and epidural adhesions may prevent DRGS placement in certain indicated patients. This can be especially challenging in patients who have failed other neuromodulation options like dorsal column stimulation. Our case series demonstrated that the transgrade technique can be successfully used in these cases to increase access to DRGS.
