Summary

A novel anterior approach for celiac plexus block was developed for patients undergoing biliary procedures. This technique provides effective visceral anesthesia when narcotics fail, achieving success in 10 of 18 cases.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Pain Management
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Celiac plexus blocks are used for visceral pain management.
  • Traditional posterior approaches have limitations during percutaneous biliary procedures.
  • Intravenous narcotics are not always effective for severe visceral pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a fluoroscopically guided anterior approach for celiac plexus block.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of this anterior approach during percutaneous biliary procedures.
  • To offer an alternative pain management strategy for refractory visceral pain.

Main Methods:

  • A fluoroscopically guided anterior approach to the celiac plexus was developed.
  • The procedure was performed on supine patients during percutaneous biliary interventions.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The anterior block could be performed at any time during the procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • The anterior celiac plexus block was performed 18 times in 14 patients.
    • Satisfactory visceral anesthesia was achieved in 10 out of 18 procedures (55.6% success rate).
    • This approach offers flexibility in timing compared to posterior blocks.

    Conclusions:

    • The fluoroscopically guided anterior approach to celiac plexus block is a viable technique.
    • It can be successfully integrated into percutaneous biliary procedures.
    • This method provides an effective alternative for managing visceral pain unresponsive to narcotics.
