Data from a two-year clinical study showed long-term durability and revealed no evidence of spinal instability for Vertos Medical’s mild® outpatient procedure for the minimally invasive treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.
Authors of the journal article reporting the data, “Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression Procedure for the Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis with Neurogenic Claudication: Two-year Results of MiDAS ENCORE,” noted that the mild procedure is a favorable early spinal decompression intervention choice for patients with thickened ligamentum flavum.
The study also revealed that stenosis patients with additional back conditions, such as a bulging disc, facet hypertrophy and foraminal narrowing, achieved statistically significant pain relief and improvement in mobility, noting that the presence of these conditions should not exclude a patient from being considered for the mild procedure.
The mild procedure, which requires no implants, general anesthesia, stitches or overnight hospital stay, received broad coverage from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2016, has been performed on >20,000 patients and has CE Mark approval in the EU.
