| description | The aim of this review is to determine the safety and efficacy of pre-operative spinal metastases embolization procedures. Two reviewers independently conducted the literature search (on MEDLINE databases), including in the review of all the studies that used pre-operative TAE to treat spinal metastases. Twelve articles on pre-operative spinal metastases embolization were selected. Most of the studies demonstrated the low complication rate of pre-operative embolization. The most important study strength is that there are very few reviews in the literature with the setting on pre-operative vertebral metastases embolization. A limitation of the review is that the studies included were predominately retrospective case-control studies, increasing the risk of bias in the primary data. Plus, divergent surgical and embolization procedures were performed in the studies, causing a potential risk of bias in the pooled results. We can conclude that preoperative arterial embolization of vertebral metastases is a safe, well-tolerated technique that reduces surgical blood loss and facilitates surgical tumor resection. |
