| مستخلص: |
The letter discusses the role of pre-operative embolization for carotid body tumors. The authors argue that while the use of embolization is controversial due to potential complications and ineffectiveness in improving neurological deficit, a review of the literature and guidelines from the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery suggest that embolization can lead to a decrease in cranial nerve damage and improve surgical outcomes. The procedure works by reducing tumor vascularity, which helps minimize blood loss during surgery and improve visualization of the operative field. However, the decision to use embolization is based on factors such as tumor vascularity and size, ease of resection, and surgeon preference and experience. [Extracted from the article] |
