In recent years, embolization of adhesive capsulitis has developed as a new therapeutic approach, reducing inflammation and limiting the blood flow in the pathologic zones. Discover two clinical cases that demonstrate the interest and effectiveness of this approach. Image Adhesive capsulitis, treatment options and the benefits of embolisation Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a pathology that affects between 2% and 10%  of the population (with a slight over-representation of women) and with an incidence that peaks between the ages of 40 and 60. The symptoms develop in stages over several months or years (up to 3 years). There are three discernible stages: a phase of severe pain, stiffness and recovery. The diagnosis essentially rests on clinical criteria and anamnesis. Imaging can assist the diagnosis by revealing certain signs, visible depending on the method used. Despite several treatment options currently available, the pathology can develop slowly, bringing a significant impairment of quality of life and prolonged incapacities.  Embolisation is a mini-invasive approach that makes it possible to reduce pain and improve shoulder movement during the months following the procedure. Discover two clinical cases that demonstrate the interest and effectiveness of this approach, which provides an additional solution to the therapeutic arsenal offered throughout the patient's journey. Read our clinical cases Embolisation as treatment for adhesive capsulitis: an innovative solution now possible at the H.U.B!Brussels, 21 January 2025 – The Department of Interventional Radiology at the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B) is now proposing a promising and minimally invasive new treatment for adhesive capsulitis. Clinical results obtained to date confirm its effectiveness where other treatments have failed, even in the most advanced cases.

In the course of the week, more than 20 researchers are scheduled to present their work and answer questions.  The seminars will be held at the Children’s Hospital on the Laeken campus, and at the Jules Bordet Institute and Erasme Hospital on the Anderlecht campus. At some seminars the scientist and illustrator Adeline Deward will be making illustrations live. Sandwiches will be served at each session. Stands will also be erected in the entrance halls of the three H.U.B hospitals (Jules Bordet Institute, Erasme Hospital and Children’s Hospital) to enable visitors to the hospitals to meet researchers and obtain information.   Do you want to know more?
