The role of preoperative embolization for intracranial meningiomas

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2013
Object As endovascular techniques have become more advanced, preoperative embolization has become an increasingly used intervention in the management of meningiomas. To date, however, no consensus has been reached on the use of this technique. To clarify the role of preoperative embolization in the management of meningiomas, the authors conducted a ...

Intracranial Embolization Procedures

2009
Intracranial embolization procedures are therapeutic endovascular occlusions of vessels involved in vascular lesions of the cerebral circulation. One can imagine more catchy phrases to describe the procedure such as “intentional cerebral embolism” (ICE), but common parlance uses the less colorful and more awkward “intracranial embolization procedure ...

Guglielmi detachable coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 1997
Today, the Guglielmi Detachable Coil (GDC) technique is the primary endovascular modality used for the endovascular occlusion of intracranial aneurysms carrying a high surgical risk of morbidity and mortality. 1,2 Balloon embolization of aneurysms is only used in those cases requiring parent artery occlusion such as in giant skull base and ...

Intraoperative angiography and embolization in intracranial AVM's and aneurysms

Neurosurgical Review, 1992
Intraoperative angiography allows for control procedures for exstirpation of arteriovenous malformations and clipping of problematic aneurysms during the entire operation. During intraoperative embolizations, it is especially helpful to see whether the occlusion of the nidus of an arteriovenous malformation is complete.

Pipeline Embolization Device for the Treatment of Intracranial Pseudoaneurysms

World Neurosurgery, 2019
Intracranial pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) are associated with high rupture and mortality rates and have traditionally been treated by parent vessel sacrifice. There has been recent interest in using flow-diverting devices for treatment of these complex lesions while preserving flow through the parent artery.

Traumatic embolization of the intracranial internal carotid artery

Neuroradiology, 1978
A 3 mm pellet, shot into the neck of a 13 year old boy, migrated into the common carotid artery and lodged in the infraclinoid internal carotid artery. The case illustrates an unusual intravascular migration of a foreign body. The benign clinical course, radiological evaluation, and rationale for expectant management of such low velocity missle ...

PREOPERATIVE EMBOLIZATION OF INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS WITH ONYX

Neurosurgery, 2007
Preoperative embolization in accordance with multimodal therapies for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is generally the first step in treatment and may result in complete obliteration. The Onyx liquid embolic system (Micro Therapeutics, Inc., Irvine, CA) may offer advantages for intranidal targeted embolization and microsurgical resection ...

Preoperative Embolization of Intracranial Meningiomas with Embosphere® Microspheres

min - Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, 2004
To reduce intraoperative bleeding and to facilitate surgery by inducing tumor softening, a preoperative embolization of meningiomas is commonly recommended.We report on our experience with non-resorbable microspheres (Embosphere) in the preoperative endovascular embolization of 17 intracranial meningiomas.

Safety and Efficacy of Preoperative Embolization of Intracranial Hemangioblastomas

Operative Neurosurgery, 2016
Intracranial hemangioblastomas are highly vascular tumors that account for 1% to 2% of all central nervous system tumors. Preoperative embolization has been proposed to limit the often significant intraoperative blood loss associated with resection and potentially make the tumor more soft/necrotic and thus more amenable to gross total resection.
