T3-T4 bone tumor ablation and kyphoplasty for metastatic NSCLC, helping to keep this elderly pt mobile, out of the hospital, & away from further deconditioning & pneumonia. Outpatient operation, 4 small pokeholes. Tumor dead, pain resolved. Love my job.

First positive DSM for #CSFLeak @UCLAHealth in a patient with intracranial hypotension and ventral leak at the cervicothoracic junction. @RadiologyUcla @UCLANsgy @The_ASSR @TheASNR

Much credit to @marcelmaya and @WouterSchievink for teaching me the ways!

89 year-old otherwise healthy man presented with severe back pain due to pathological fracture at T11. #RFA and #SpineJack achieved ligamentotaxis and improved epidural clearance from tumor. Biopsy lymphoma. @The_ASSR @TheASNR #VCF #compression #fracture

No better way to head into a holiday weekend then crushing some cases with @JAcharya4 at @CedarsSinai!

Back to back to back Jacks followed by T5 optablate/kypho! #optablate #Microinfusion #bonetumorablation #NMP #Spinejack #LAisStrykerCountry

It allows for treatment of two vertebral body levels at once using a bipedicular approach https://t.co/xZTvbF4vlY

T11-L1 acute compression fractures in a young myeloma patient treated with #SpineJack to great effect! Height restoration at the thoracolumbar junction is key for biomechanics. @USCneurorads @RobJones_31 @JAcharya4 @TheStrykerIVS

Always a pleasure working with my guys at USC @JAcharya4 & @NeuroRadMoose! Three level thoracic #spinejack case! #stryker

[Douglas Beall @dougbeall]

That’s doing overt harm to that patient. Vertebral augmentation is 9X safer than non-surgical mgt (Liu 2019) and reduces mortality 55% (Ong 2018). There’s no excuse for advice like this.

[Jay Acharya @JAcharya4]

>100% height increase in vertebral body height!

Fracture reduction is critical for physiologic biomechanical function and kyphosis prevention particularly at a junctional level (T11)

Data from the US #VertebralAugmentation #Registry. Not yet published but shows a delay of 6 mos in treating a painful #VCF can cost 3X as much as prompt treatment #vertebroplasty #kyphoplasty @SIRspecialists @ASIPP @ASPN_PainNeuro @TheASNR @ASBMR

Balloon wouldn’t expand despite testing the limits of burst pressure. T-tip curette saves the day to make a cavity! @joekallini @AlanAlperMD
