Abstract
Embolization of bone metastases is most commonly performed for hypervascular tumors prior to surgical resection. When employed in this fashion embolization can significantly decrease perioperative hemorrhage and improve surgical outcomes. In addition, embolization of bone metastases may lead to local tumor control and decreased tumoral associate bone pain. Careful techniques and choice of embolic material are required when performing embolization of bone lesions to ensure low procedural complications and high rates of clinical success.4 The indications, technical considerations, and complications associated with embolization of metastatic hypervascular bone lesions will be discussed in this review with subsequent case examples.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
