Management of Painful Vertebral Hemangiomas with Kyphoplasty: A Report of Two Cases and a Literature Review
Pain Physician, 08/07/09

Jones JO et al. – This case series demonstrates a successful response to vertebral augmentation using balloon kyphoplasty when other treatment modalities failed. When compared to traditional first line treatments such as vertebroplasty or lytic therapies, kyphoplasty may offer fewer procedural risks such as a decreased exposure to radiation, a decreased risk of excessive hemorrhage, and a decreased risk of cement leakage which may make it the preferred treatment of painful vertebral hemangiomas in the future.
