Show: UAB Med Cast
Around 30 million people suffer from low back pain, which can have complex causes. Interventional radiologists Jesse Jones, M.D., and Junjian Huang, M.D., discuss basivertebral nerve (BVN) ablation, a minimally invasive procedure to alleviate axial low back pain. Learn how this procedure is effective for a wide variety of patients, even those with comorbidities. BVN ablation has shown a 75% success rate in studies, but the doctors explain why it requires pinpoint accuracy on the part of experienced interventional radiologists.
