Overview

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of preoperative embolization in decreasing operative blood loss, decreasing the need for intraoperative transfusion and facilitate surgical resection in metastatic spine surgery. Furthermore the study aims at describing the vascularity in a series of spinal metastasis, and to correlate this with perioperative blood loss.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Perioperative blood loss

Time Frame: Measured intraoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Perioperative blood transfusion volume(Intraoperatively and until 48 hours postoperatively.)

  • Success of embolization(Directly after the embolization performed 0-48 hours before surgery.)
  • Adverse events related to angiography or embolization(Within 2 postoperative days)
  • Adverse events related to surgery(Within 2 postoperative days)
