“…The management of metastatic disease in the spine is anticipated to become more prevalent with the aging population and the development of new cancer therapies 1,25 . Surgical intervention for spinal column tumors, especially in patients with ESCC, presents a clinical challenge due to the potential for excessive blood loss, which can lead to perioperative complications 26 . A previously published meta-analysis has reported a pooled mean blood loss of 2180 mL in these types of interventions 6 .…”

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 substantial blood loss. Therefore, assessing tumor vascularity before surgery and taking measures to minimize intraoperative blood loss is essential. Methods. A total of 62 patients with thoracolumbar metastases were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent separation surgery using the posterior approach. Prior to surgery, the vascularity of the metastases was evaluated using CTP. Based on the CTP results, patients were categorized into hypervascular and hypovascular groups. Preoperative angiography and embolization were performed for the hypervascular group. Clinical data were abstracted, including intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complications, VAS score, neurological status, and the accuracy of vascularity evaluation by CTP confirmed by angiography. Chi-square testing was used to compare categorical variables, while independent sample t-tests were employed to compare continuous variables, with paired t-tests were used to assess differences from preoperative to postoperative time points. Results. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 485±167 mL and 455±127.6 mL in the two groups, respectively. The accuracy of vascularity evaluation by CTP was 100%. In the hypervascular group, 80.6% of the patients experienced at least one level of improvement in neurological status, while the hypovascular group had 81.5% of patients with similar improvement. None of the patients experienced neurological deterioration. There was a significant reduction in VAS score in both groups after the operation. Conclusion. The vascularity of thoracolumbar metastases could be accurately evaluated using noninvasive CTP. When combined with preoperative embolization, this approach effectively and safely reduced intraoperative blood loss in the setting of separation surgery.
