Outcome of Surgical Treatment for Carotid Body Tumors in Different Shambling Type Without Preoperative Embolization: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

We report on the preoperative embolization of a carotid-body paraganglioma by temporary balloon occlusion and ethanol injection. Complete devascularization was achieved without complication. Resection after a short postembolization interval required artery sacrifice. Histologic evaluation revealed that the tumor contained diffuse ethanol-induced microemboli. Compared with unembolized and polyvinyl-alcohol-embolized carotid-body paragangliomas, our technique resulted in no greater adverse effects on the tumor-vessel interface. This procedure is an effective and promising method of preoperative embolization of carotid-body tumors and warrants further experience and study. In this article, we also review the literature on carotid-body tumor embolization and ethanol embolization.

✓ Two patients with large vascular carotid body tumors underwent preoperative intravascular embolization of the major arterial feeders. The tumor vascularity was reduced markedly, and complete surgical extirpation was accomplished without difficulty. The literature on carotid body tumors is briefly reviewed. The role of preoperative embolization in the treatment of these difficult tumors is emphasized.
