CT and Fluoroscopy Guided Celiac Ganglion Block
Abstract
- PURPOSE
To evaluate the effects and usefulness of fiuroscopy guided celiac ganglion block after marking of needle path with CT scan.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Celiac ganglion block with 100% ethyl alcohol was performed in 50 cancer patients who were inoperable and had intractable abdominal pain. Duration and degree of pain relief after the procedure and its complication were analyzed.
RESULTS
Early pain relief was observed in 98% and long term relief in 68% without serious complication.
CONCLUSION
Fluoroscopy guided celiac ganglion block after marking of needle path with CT scan was a safe and valuable procedure in relieving intractable pain in terminal cancer patients and reduced the time in the CT room.
