“…In recognizing these problems, an unconventional alternative approach to devascularization of craniofacial tumors has been recently described, simply referred to as direct puncture tumor embolization (DPTE) 4 . This technique, which was partially based on prior descriptions of direct puncture of osseous spinal tumors, 5,6 superficial high‐ and low‐flow vascular malformations, 7,8 and certain visceral neoplasms, 9‐11 involves percutaneous placement of a needle directly within the neoplasm, through which certain liquid embolic agents (e.g., cyanoacrylate suspensions or absolute ethanol) are injected into the tumor neovasculature after confirmation by test injection of contrast media.…”
