Imaging guidance

Step 2: Imaging guidance

Live imaging (ultrasound or X-ray) directs the catheter to the precise blood vessels feeding the inflamed fascia.

Step 3: Microparticle injection

Microscopic embolic particles are injected into those vessels to reduce blood flow to the irritated tissue.
