Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of preoperative feeding artery occlusion on vertebral resection of invasive vertebral hemangioma. METHODS: The clinical data of 20 patients with invasive vertebral hemangioma who received posterior lumbar vertebral body resection, bone grafting, fusion and internal fixation between March 2010 and March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether feeding artery occlusion was performed before operation, the patients were divided into group A (11 cases, tumor feeding artery occlusion before operation) and group B (9 cases, no tumor feeding artery occlusion before operation). There was no significant difference in gender, age, lesion segment, and disease duration between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, blood transfusion volume, and ambulant time after surgery, hospitalization time, and deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities were recorded and compared between the two groups. Pain improvement was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score. RESULTS: The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion volume, and ambulant time after surgery were significantly less in group A than those in group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative drainage volume and hospitalization time between the two groups ( P>0.05). Five patients (3 in group A and 2 in group B) suffered from pleural tear due to intraoperative pleural adhesions. Closed thoracic drainage tubes were placed immediately after suture and extubated on 3-5 days. Both groups were followed up 1-1.5 years, with an average of 1.35 years. In group B, 1 patient died of pulmonary embolism at 7 days after operation; and 2 patients developed deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity after operation, who were treated with inferior vena cava filter and thrombolytic therapy, and recovered well after operation. The local pain of the other patients was significantly relieved after operation, and the pain disappeared at 1 month after operation. The VAS scores of the two groups at 3 days after operation were significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups before operation and at 3 days after operation ( P>0.05). Three patients (2 in group A and 1 in group B) who had neurological symptoms were significantly relieved after surgery. Bone healing was achieved in both groups at 1 year after operation. No fracture or loosening of internal fixator occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Nutritional artery occlusion before vertebrectomy for invasive vertebral hemangioma can effectively reduce intraoperative blood loss, operation time, perioperative blood transfusion, and other perioperative complications.
