Effect of Endovascular Inferior Mesenteric Artery Embolization on Colonic Perfusion Prior to Rectal Surgery for Rectal Tumor or Sigmoid Colon Surgery

Effect of Endovascular Inferior Mesenteric Artery Embolization on Colonic Perfusion Prior to Rectal Surgery for Rectal Tumor or Sigmoid Colon Surgery - A Single-center Feasibility Pilot Study.

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 10 (actual)
• Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that a primary embolization, 3-4 weeks before surgery, would allow development of vascular collaterality, in particular for the marginal artery which will ensure a better colonic perfusion.

Conditions

• Cancer, Sigmoid
• Cancer, Rectum

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery	proximal occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery, before its divisional branches, by coils or plug 3-4 weeks prior to surgery.
PROCEDURE	Inferior mesenteric artery ligation	Endovascular ligation of Inferior mesenteric artery
