Zusammenfassung: | Objective
Preoperative embolization of meningioma is commonly performed; however, there is no consensus on the best embolic material to reduce intraoperative blood loss and surgery time.
Method
We retrospectively assessed the safety and efficacy of 56 cases of preoperative embolization of the middle meningeal artery with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in 105 cases of surgery for meningioma. We also defined a blood loss to tumor volume ratio to compensate for bias caused by tumor volume, and analyzed limited cases (the embolized group n = 52, the non-embolized group n = 21) of the convexity, the parasagittal region, the falx, and the sphenoidal ridge.
Result
The blood loss to tumor volume ratio was significantly less in the embolized group (p |
