“…Vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty have gained popularity in recent years for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures. Several articles report on excellent clinical results and prevention of further collapse of the fractured vertebrae (13,18,19,24,27). Despite the excellent clinical results on pain and function, vertebroplasty will not restore vertebral height, but it will stabilize kyphotic deformity.…”

“…7 Initial success with this procedure in hemangiomas has led to its use in the management of osteoporotic and osteolytic neoplastic lesions. 1,2,7,9,23,28 Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, the performance of which results in significant pain relief and spinal stabilization. The procedure is associated with limited complications.…”

Many advances have been made in the treatment of metastatic spinal disease over the last few decades. Radiotherapy offers benefit and pain relief to many patients; however, this modality provides minimal vertebral stabilization. Surgical management consists of decompression and complex fusions. Vertebroplasty offers an adjuvant therapy to both radiotherapy and surgery by providing additional stabilization and pain relief. The results of case studies suggest that including vertebroplasty in the management of these patients is beneficial. In this article the authors review the role of vertebroplasty in metastatic spinal disease.

“…While Gaston reported the use of transarterial histoacryl embolization in three cases, 23 Nicola and Lins described intra-operative retrograde embolization. 13 In the solitary case in which it was used by us, surgery was totally free of blood loss, the haemangiomatous mass had completely shrunk and spinal cord pulsations were clearly discernable at laminectomy.…”

Symptomatic vertebral haemangioma: endovascular treatment of 12 patients

1997

Vertebral haemangioma is a well known albeit infrequent cause for thoracic cord compression. While surgery is the treatment of choice in patients with neural compression syndromes, embolization of the feeding arterial pedicles is less frequently practiced. Twelve patients with vertebral haemangiomas and neural compression underwent particulate embolization of the feeder arteries. Eleven patients had a subsequent decompressive laminectomy. At 8 months of follow-up after radiotherapy, eleven patients had improved and in one patient, the clinical de®cits were unchanged. Immediate pre-operative particulate embolization is to be considered in patients with a symptomatic spinal haemangioma.
