A Technical Guide to Palliative Ablation of Recurrent Cancers in the Deep Spaces of the Suprahyoid Neck
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 184-191 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1745764Treatment options for patients with recurrent head and neck cancer, whether locoregional recurrence of previously treated head and neck cancer or secondary primary malignancy, are limited. Percutaneous ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used with palliative intent in the head and neck to achieve symptomatic relief and local tumor control, potentially fulfilling treatment gaps of current standard of care options. Image guidance is key when navigating the deep spaces of the neck with special attention paid to critical structures within th...

CT-Guided Cooled Radiofrequency Denervation for Chronic Arthritis Pain of the Hip and Shoulder
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 150-156 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1745796The paradigm in the treatment of arthritis pain is shifting for previously open surgical denervations of the hip and shoulder, as it already has for the geniculate nerves in knee arthritis. Interventional radiology is poised to contribute to this space with the use of CT guidance to provide safe, fast, and effective targeting of the target nerves for unequivocal diagnostic nerve block and definitive cooled radiofrequency denervation. The authors provide the background of which nerves are targeted for hip and shoulder denervation and the normal CT appearanc...

Celiac Plexus Cryoneurolysis
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 138-141 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1745762Intractable, chronic abdominal pain from upper abdominal malignant and benign diseases is a significant challenge for healthcare providers and burden on the healthcare system. While opioid analgesics are commonly used to provide pain relief, the adverse effects of chronic opioid use cannot be overlooked. Celiac plexus neurolysis via chemical or thermal means represents an alternative minimally invasive approach to provide palliative pain relief and increase patients' quality of life. Through the use of computed tomography guidance, celiac plexus neurolysis...

Genicular Nerve Ablation Review Using Cooled-Radiofrequency Nerve Ablation
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 130-137 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1745797Osteoarthritis (OA) is globally the most prevalent joint disease and causes patients great pain, limited joint mobility, and psychological distress. Short- and long-term therapies like steroid injections and arthroplasty exist, respectively. Joint arthroplasty can effectively treat symptomatic end-stage OA, but most patients do not go through with surgery because they are not qualified, have comorbidities, or do not wish to undergo surgery. As a result, patients can turn to opioid agonists for pain relief, which contributes to the growing opioid epidemic t...

Genicular Artery Embolization for Primary Knee Osteoarthritis
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 125-129 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1745798Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a novel treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA) with increasing interest and utilization worldwide. The genicular arteries are selectively embolized using microspheres with subsequent cessation of abnormal synovial hyperemia, a process believed to arrest the inflammatory changes and pain associated with OA. Current data indicate that GAE offers sustained, 6-month improvement in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and visual analog scale scores in 80 to 85% of patients with mild to mod...
