Computed Tomography Perfusion Combined with Preoperative Embolization for Reducing Intraoperative Blood Loss in Separation Surgery for Thoracolumbar Metastases
Abstract:Study Design.
A prospective consecutive case study. Objective: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in evaluating the vascularity of thoracolumbar metastases and to determine the impact of combining CTP with preoperative embolization on reducing intraoperative blood loss during separation surgery.
Summary of Background Data.
Surgery for thoracolumbar metastases is a complex procedure with the potential for subst… Show more
