re you ready to gain skills that will set you apart? At the SIR EDGE meeting, you’ll learn from experts in the fi eld
and master techniques in areas such as Y-90 dosimetry software, ICE TIPS, basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA), intrathecal pumps, spinal cord stimulators, screws, and sawbones, kyphoplasties, thrombectomy, and more. Don’t just keep up with the industry—lead it.
Check out a sneak peek of what to expect from the pain management and portal hypertension skills sessions.
Pain management and MSK interventions The pain interventions special skills workshops at EDGE 2024 are crafted to maximize attendee hands-on experience.
There will be four stations between two special skills workshops focusing on intrathecal pump placement and management, spinal cord stimulator placement and management, basivertebral nerve ablation and peripheral joint ablation.
During these small-group sessions, experts will review:
• Technical aspects of the procedures • How to appropriately identify patients • How to establish a referral base
• How to navigate complex clinical scenarios
During the curriculum for radiofrequency ablation, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty, attendees will be able to handle, examine and trial equipment from various vendors. Expert operators and industry representatives will be on site to provide guidance and answer questions, to ensure maximum knowledge transfer.
Learners should return home comfortable with the process of obtaining equipment, having cases proctored, patient selection, technique, and desired outcomes for patients with painful neoplastic, osteoporotic, or traumatic vertebral body fractures.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the process by which patients are selected for radiofrequency ablation, balloon kyphoplasty, and/or vertebroplasty procedures in interventional radiology.

2. Describe the opportunity for interventional radiology with regard to patients who are admitted with intractable pain related to vertebral body fractures secondary to cancer or non-neoplastic conditions to be treated with percutaneous image guided stabilization with or without radiofrequency ablation or cavity creation.
3. Demonstrate via actual case performance and narration the translation of evolving innovation and evidence supporting interventional radiology procedures for musculoskeletal and/or pain conditions.
