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.

The Pipeline embolization device for treatment of intracranial aneurysms

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2014
Flow diversion is a new endovascular technique developed for treatment of intracranial aneurysms. It is based on stent-induced modification of blood flow within and around an aneurysm inflow zone, leading to gradual intra-aneurysmal thrombosis and subsequent atrophy, while preserving flow into the parent vessel and perforating branches.

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.

[Preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas].

La Radiologia medica, 1984
Embolization of very vascular intracranial meningiomas prior to operation will reduce the loss of blood during the operation. The indications and the technique of preoperative embolization are discussed and 20 cases are presented.

Preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 1986
The goal of preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas is to facilitate their surgical removal by reducing tumor vascularity and decreasing blood loss during surgery. This study is based on personal experience with about 100 embolized meningiomas and on the experience of others. Embolization is performed during the same session as diagnostic

[Complications during preoperative embolization in intracranial meningioma].

Minerva anestesiologica, 1992
We report a rare case of meningioma of the parieto-occipital convexity accompanied by hemorrhage in the tumor and in the subdural space that occurred while pre-operative embolization was being applied. The patient, a 48 year old woman, presented sudden headache and, in a few minutes, comatose status and decerebrate rigidity.

Inflammation after embolization of intracranial aneurysms

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2008
Angiographic recanalization of embolized intracranial aneurysms occurs in a significant number of patients. In recent years, different coil modifications have been introduced to decrease recanalization rates. The two main coil modifications currently available for clinical application include polyglycolic acid/polylactic acid coating to trigger a “more

[Preoperative Embolization of Intracranial Meningioma].

No shinkei geka. Neurological surgery
Preoperative embolization(POE)of intracranial meningioma is performed worldwide. Although clear evidence of the effectiveness of POE has not been reported in the literature, the technique plays an important role in open surgery, especially for large or skull base meningiomas.

Embolization of Intracranial and Skull Base Tumors

1993
Embolization is now recognized as an established endovascular interventional neuroradiologic technique for the preoperative devascularization of vascular neoplasms of the intracranial space and of the skull base (Lasjaunias and Berenstein 1987b; Valavanis 1990; Halbach et al. 1992).
