Selective intra-arterial embolization of bone tumors. A useful adjunct in the management of selected lesions.
Our initial experience with therapeutic selective arterial embolization of 3 highly vascular bone tumors is discussed. In 2 benign lesions embolization of Gelfoam particles through a large bore selective catheter facilitated complete resection by limiting hemorrhage at the time of surgery. Embolization of a vascular malignant tumor provided temporary palliation.
