Embolization of bone metastases is most commonly performed for hypervascular tumors prior to surgical resection. When employed in this fashion embolization can significantly decrease perioperative hemorrhage and improve surgical outcomes. In addition, embolization of bone metastases may lead to local tumor control and decreased tumoral associate bone pain. Careful techniques and choice of embolic material is required when performing embolization of bone lesions to ensure low procedural complications and high rates of clinical success.4 The indications, technical considerations, and complications associated with embolization of metastatic hypervascular bone lesions will be discussed in this review with subsequent case examples.
