Summary

Knee osteoarthritis is a common cause of disability in patients who are often young and active. Surgery being an option only for the most severe cases, there is little alternative in case of failure of recommended medication. Inflammatory hypervascularization of the joint is a known source of pain. Temporary embolization of intra-arterial inflammatory hypervascularization has been used since 2012 with good results on pain relief to treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders that are resistant to conventional treatments. Lipiodol® has transient embolizing properties when in emulsion with a contrast agent. It has been used as an emulsion with chemotherapy for the treatment of metastases and primary intra-arterial liver cancer (chemo-embolization) for many years without serious side effects. We hypothesized that Lipiodol® in emulsion could serve as a temporary embolization agent for the treatment of inflammatory hypervascularization responsible for musculoskeletal disorders in humans.
