Head, neck, and brain tumor embolization guidelines
BACKGROUND Management of vascular tumors of the head, neck, and brain is often complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Peri-operative embolization of vascular tumors may help to reduce intra-operative bleeding and operative times and have thus become an integral part of the management of these tumors. Advances in catheter and non-catheter based techniques in conjunction with the grow...
متن کاملHead, neck, and brain tumor embolization.
The embolization of vascular tumors of the head, neck, and CNS has become an important adjunct to the surgical treatment of these tumors. The procedure has resulted in reduced morbidity and mortality and helps to facilitate the removal of many of these tumors. In tumors that are not amenable to surgical therapy, embolization may occasionally be used as the primary mode of treatment. These guide...
متن کاملEndovascular Embolization of Head and Neck Tumors
Endovascular tumor embolization as adjunctive therapy for head and neck cancers is evolving and has become an important part of the tools available for their treatment. Careful study of tumor vascular anatomy and adhering to general principles of intra-arterial therapy can prove this approach to be effective and safe. Various embolic materials are available and can be suited for a given tumor a...
متن کاملTherapeutic embolization for vascular trauma of the head and neck.
Therapeutic embolization is an effective and relatively safe method for managing many cases of head and neck trauma. In the last 5 years, 78 traumatic vascular lesions--10 arterial transections and 68 arteriovenous fistula--were treated by intravascular embolization at four medical centers. Selection of embolic materials is discussed and different types of lesions are illustrated. Treatment was...
متن کاملBalloons and coils: aids in particulate/liquid head-neck embolization.
In embolization procedures of the external carotid artery (ECA) system, it is ideal to selectively embolize only the involved feeding branch or branches. This usually requires superselective catheterization , which can be difficult. The catheter diameter may approximate vessel diameter closely enough to reduce flow. Vessel spasm may be generated by catheterization attempts. Spasm may lead to re...
