Preoperative Embolization in Surgical Treatment of Spinal Metastases.

Preoperative Embolization in Surgical Treatment of Spinal Metastases. A Randomized Controlled Trial.

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 48 (actual)
• Sponsor: Rigshospitalet, Denmark · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of preoperative embolization in decreasing operative blood loss, decreasing the need for intraoperative transfusion and facilitate surgical resection in metastatic spine surgery. Furthermore the study aims at describing the vascularity in a series of spinal metastasis, and to correlate this with perioperative blood loss.

Conditions

• Spinal Metastases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Arteriography and preoperative embolization	Arteriography and transcatheter arterial embolization of spinal metastasis/metastases 0-48 hours prior to surgery.
PROCEDURE	Arteriography	Arteriography of spinal metastasis/metastases without transcatheter arterial embolization prior to surgery.
