  • Summary

  • Tumor embolization is a versatile procedure that can provide symptomatic and long-term benefits for patients. In this episode of BackTable MSK, host Dr. Michael Barraza discusses musculoskeletal tumor embolizations with Dr. Gina Landinez from the Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, where she is helping to grow the MSK interventions program. --- This podcast is supported by: Accountable Physician Advisors http://www.accountablephysicianadvisors.com/ --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Landinez explains that the main indications for embolization are preoperative tumor shrinkage and pain palliation. Embolization decreases hemorrhagic risk and procedure time during surgical resection and leads to better surgical margins. Pain palliation can also be achieved due to tumor size reduction and decreased pressure on surrounding nerves and tissue. Dr. Landinez explains that lesions well-suited embolization are hypervascular, large, not sensitive to radiation, and painful. She also describes the risks of off-target skin and muscle embolization and the importance of exercising caution with vertebral tumors. Finally, Dr. Landinez shares valuable practice-building tips about developing relationships with orthopedic surgeons and providing adequate follow up care. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 03:51 - Indications for Embolization 08:08 - Building Referral Networks 13:45 - Preoperative Planning 18:34 - Technical Aspects of Embolization 27:25 - Challenges and Considerations 31:23 - Importance of Outpatient Follow Up
