    A 61-year-old male patient experienced recurrent chest pain and neck-shoulder pain after coronary intervention, with ineffective anti-anginal medications.

  • 3

    Cervical imaging revealed disc herniation at C5-C7 with nerve root compression, leading to the diagnosis of cervicogenic angina.

  • 4

    The patient underwent ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency and low-temperature plasma ablation, resulting in significant symptom relief.
