Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty is used to treat painful compression fractures in the spine. In a compression fracture, all or part of a spine bone collapses.The procedure is also called balloon kyphoplasty.
Description
Kyphoplasty is done in a hospital or outpatient clinic.
You may have local anesthesia (awake and unable to feel pain). You will likely also receive medicine to help you relax and feel sleepy.
A larger volume of high-viscosity cement can be injected into vertebral analogs with simulated compression fractures before cement leakage with vertebroplasty than with kyphoplasty, suggests a new study.
Researchers used 40 artificial vertebral analogs made of polyurethane (Sawbones, Pacific Research Laboratories) as a model of osteoporotic L3 vertebrae with compression fracture.
Polymeric balloon having a burst pressure of at least 200 psi (1.4 MPa) and a radial expansion beyond nominal inflated diameter of less than 5% at 200 psi (1.4 MPa).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the current international general guidelines, intra aortic balloon pump is considered to be the 1 stage of acute myocardial infarction in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, evidence supporting this theory is only based on the registration data, but also the lack of randomized clinical trials to confirm.
