Musculoskeletal embolization - endovascular treatment of adhesive capsulitis
Abstract
Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a painful and restrictive condition that significantly impairs the quality of life for affected individuals.
We present the successful endovascular treatment of adhesive capsulitis in the first-ever case performed in Portugal. A 6-month follow-up with objective results is presented, using the visual analog scale for pain and the Quick Dash questionnaire.
Trans-arterial, musculoskeletal embolization, as a cutting-edge technique, offers a promising avenue for patients with adhesive capsulitis unresponsive to traditional management, opening new possibilities for improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
