Abstract:
Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) of the trigeminal ganglion uses a differential injury of axons to interfere with the nerve's ability to transmit signals. In our experience, patients with lower divisional pain (V3) are often more difficult to control using PBC. We describe a modification to the PBC technique for patients with lower division (V3) pain, and present our experience to date.

Angina IV: Management
461
IntroductionThe management of angina requires a comprehensive approach that includes pharmacological therapies, medical procedures, and lifestyle modifications.Pharmacological TherapiesAntiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor, play a pivotal role in preventing thrombus formation in patients with angina. These medications inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the likelihood of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events.Anticoagulants, including...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care
630
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
