Embolization of Hypervascular Bone Metastases Reduces Intraoperative Blood Loss: A Case-control Study

BackgroundSmall case series suggest that preoperative transcatheter arterial embolization minimizes bleeding and facilitates surgery for hypervascular metastatic bone tumors. However, control groups would make our confidence in clinical recommendations stronger, but small patient numbers make prospective trials difficult to conduct on this topic.
