Effectiveness Of Radiofrequency Ablation And Stabilization In Metastatic Spine Lesions By Positron Emission Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Confirmation
Sponsor: National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Summary
This pilot study will try to demonstrate metabolic changes in spine lesions treated by Augmentation and Ablation, according to existing standards of practice. Our purpose is to show the efficacy of a new radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in combination with augmentation, using a percutaneous ablation device (Osteocool-Medtronic) in the treatment of secondary vertebral bone tumor, avoiding concurrent bias related to other treatments of the disease.
