Summary

Although angiographic embolization has been introduced for preoperative management of spine metastases in 1975 and is suggested today by many authors in the management of such pathologies, it needs to be confirmed by RCT. It is a minimally invasive procedure, not free from complications. The recent meta-analyzes, due to the limited number of patients included are not exhaustive about the effectiveness of embolization in the reduction of the intraoperative bleeding, especially in the context of poor / moderate metastasis vascularization. We want to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative angiographic embolization of intermediate / poor vascularized spine metastases in reducing intraoperative blood loss during excision surgery.
