Preoperative transarterial Embolisation in bone tumors

Figure 2 Embolisation of left distal femoral aneurysmal bone cyst in a 42-year-old male. A: Forty-two-year-old male with an expansile lytic lesion involving the left medial femoral condyle with histopathologic confirmation of aneurysmal bone cyst. Left common femoral angiogram revealed a prominent arterial feeder arising from the superficial femoral artery at the level of the adductor canal; B: Angiogram obtained after selective cannulation of the arterial feeder revealed the marked vascularity of the lesion; C: Embolisation with polyvinyl alcohol particles 300-500 μm was performed following selective cannulation of the feeder. Post-Embolisation angiogram demonstrated marked reduction in tumor blush.
