Sympatectomy, alcohol ablation of the coeliac ganglion, CT guided

CASE

Using a translumbar approach, a needle was inserted between the left psoas muscle and the aorta. Then, a mixture of absolute alcohol and iodine contrast was injected to destroy the ganglion. The ganglion itself is not not visible on CT and therefore the needle is navigated to its usual location.
