    Ep. 95 Shoulder Embolization for Adhesive Capsulitis & Tendinopathy with Dr. Yan Epelboym

    For patients who have exhausted conservative management but aren’t ready for the knife, shoulder embolization offers a minimally invasive intermediary option. In this episode of BackTable MSK, host Kavi Krishnasamy welcomes Dr. Yan Epelboym, an interventional radiologist trailblazing the MSK IR space. The doctors discuss the rapid development of musculoskeletal embolization applications with an emphasis on shoulder embolization. --- SYNPOSIS The episode begins with Dr. Epelboym outlining how his interest in musculoskeletal embolization developed after exposure to Okuno’s early work, along with practical considerations for establishing referral pathways for these procedures. He also provides updates on the ongoing ELECTRC clinical trial at Brigham and Women’s Hospital evaluating shoulder embolization. The discussion then turns to outcome measurement, including pain scoring systems and approaches to standardized clinical follow-up. The conversation concludes with a review of the existing literature on adhesive capsulitis, including a meta-analysis demonstrating improvements in pain and range of motion with predominantly minor adverse events, while emphasizing the ongoing need for randomized trials and greater procedural standardization. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 01:42 - Dr. Yan Epelboym’s Origin Story in MSK03:02 - Building Referral Networks06:50 - Details on Clinic Workflow 10:08 - The Run Down on Shoulder Embolization Treatment Targets22:09 - Current Insights on Shoulder OA Embolization27:56 - Shoulder Embolization Setup and Access Choice34:28 - Shoulder Embolization Strategy and Endpoints36:38 - Post-Procedure Pain Control and Activity Limitations42:26 - Shoulder Surgery Status-Post Embolization44:17 - Discussing Existing Research Data on Shoulder Embolization01:00:32 - Key Shoulder Arterial Anatomy and Variants01:04:27 - Shoulder OA Case Discussion01:09:08 - Final Thoughts --- RESOURCES Dr. Yan Epelboym, MD, MPHhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/yan-epelboym-4a84991b/ Embolization Treatment of Chronic Refractory Shoulder Tendinopathy (ELECTRC)https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06095050
