Resection of Shamblin II and III carotid body tumors can be challenging owing to the potential for significant blood loss. Prophylactic use of liquid embolic agents poses a risk of inflammatory reactions and nontarget embolization. On the other hand, coil embolization has traditionally been limited to cases involving external carotid artery sacrifice. Herein we demonstrate that superselective targeting of tumor-feeding vessels using platinum based, fully detachable packing coils is effective at sustained devascularization of Shamblin II and III carotid body tumors without subsequent inflammation, allowing for a longer interval between embolization and tumor resection, and potentially reducing blood loss without need for ligation or reconstruction of the internal or external carotid artery. |
