Injectable Corticosteroid Preparations: An Embolic Risk Assessment by Static and Dynamic Microscopic Analysis

Abstract

MPA and TA have a substantial risk of causing infarction by embolization if inadvertently injected intra-arterially at the time of TFESI. DSP is completely soluble and microscopically has no potential to obstruct arterioles. When performing cervical TFESI procedures, the administration of insoluble CSs should be avoided.
