Preoperative vascular embolization as an adjunct to successful resection of large retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma. 1976

R B Smith, and H I Machleder, and R W Rand, and J Bentson, and P Toubas

A large retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma was resected successfully with the aid of preoperative control of the blood supply of the lesion with percutaneous intra-arterial gelfoam and ferromagnetic silicone embolization. We believe that this resection would not have been possible without this adjuvant technique. Future application of this combined technique will enable more aggressive surgical intervention in unresectable vascular tumors and arteriovenous malformations.

D005781 Gelatin Sponge, Absorbable Sterile, gelatin-base surgical sponge applied topically as an adjunct to hemostasis when the control of bleeding by conventional procedures is ineffective to reduce capillary ooze or is impractical.

D006393 Hemangiopericytoma A tumor composed of spindle cells with a rich vascular network, which apparently arises from pericytes, cells of smooth muscle origin that lie around small vessels. Benign and malignant hemangiopericytomas exist, and the rarity of these lesions has led to considerable confusion in distinguishing between benign and malignant variants.
