Cutting-edge embolotherapy techniques offer a minimally invasive approach to treating chronic pain by precisely targeting the source.New Baltimore TodayCUC America, a leading provider of minimally invasive pain treatment solutions, has announced strategic collaborations with Dr. Yuji Okuno, a global pioneer of embolotherapy, and Dr. Osman Ahmed, a leading U.S. interventional radiologist. Together, they will work to build a scalable Office-Based Laboratory (OBL) platform to expand access to these innovative treatments across the country.
Why it matters
Minimally invasive pain treatments like embolotherapy offer patients an alternative to more invasive surgeries, with reduced recovery times and risks. However, access to these cutting-edge therapies has been limited, especially outside of major metro areas. CUC America's new collaborations aim to make these advanced treatments more widely available through a network of community-based OBL facilities.
The details
The partnership will leverage the expertise of Dr. Okuno, who has pioneered embolotherapy techniques globally, and Dr. Ahmed, a leading U.S. interventional radiologist. Together, they will work to establish a scalable OBL platform that can deliver these innovative pain treatments in a community-based setting, rather than requiring patients to travel to specialized hospitals.
- The collaborations were announced on April 10, 2026.
