Pre-operative Embolization of Primary and Secondary Bone Tumours is Safe and Effective: a Retrospective Study

BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment of bone tumours can result in large peri-operative blood loss, due to their large sizes and hypervascularity. Pre-operative embolisation has been successfully used to downgrade vascularity, thus reducing peri-operative blood loss and its associated complications. M...

description BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment of bone tumours can result in large peri-operative blood loss, due to their large sizes and hypervascularity. Pre-operative embolisation has been successfully used to downgrade vascularity, thus reducing peri-operative blood loss and its associated complications. METHODS: Pre-operative embolisation was successfully undertaken on twenty-six patients with a variety of primary and secondary bone tumours. RESULTS: Mean blood loss was 796 mL and we experienced no complications. CONCLUSION: Pre-operative arterial embolisation of large, richly vascular bone tumours in anatomically difficult positions, is a safe and effective method of downstaging vascularity and reducing blood loss.
