[Preoperative embolization of malignancies of the maxillofacial region]

In 28 patients with malignoma of the maxillofacial region catheterization angiography by transfemoral route was applied. In the same act was performed preoperative embolization of the feeding arteries of the expansive formations by temporary embolization material--gel-foam particles. In all the treated patients good vascularization of expansive alterations was achieved as well as their demarcation from the healthy tissues which enables radical extirpation with reduced blood loss during intervention.
