Abstract PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY WAS developed in France by Deramond et al., who provided initial reports of the procedure in 1987. This minimally invasive procedure uses a large-bore bone-cutting needle to percutaneously access a vertebral body, inject bone cement, and thereby stabilize and reinforce the remaining bone structure. The procedure was used initially to treat aggressive hemangiomas, but it then was extended to the treatment of osteolytic metastases and myeloma and currently osteoporotic compression fractures refractory to medical therapy. In this article, we review the current technique and its indications along with emerging devices and areas of current research.

Percutaneous Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure initially developed to treat aggressive hemangiomas, which was then further extended to vertebral tumors - especially aggressive osteolytic metastasis and myeloma - and is currently largely applied in osteoporotic compression fractures that are refractory to medical therapy. In this article we formulate and answer questions reviewing the current technique, its indications and potential  complications. This paper summarizes the experience of the Department of Neurosurgery at Hospital Santa Cruz in Curitiba (PR) and aims at providing a source of reference to neurosurgeons interested in this procedure.

Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign lesions usually left alone. However, lesions larger than 4 cm carry the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage and need treatment. Angiography and embolisation are the current standard of care particularly in patients with high operative risks. Angio-embolisation is a safe, minimally invasive procedure preserving maximum renal parenchyma, with the added advantage of preventing peri-procedural morbidity. Two cases of AML are presented in this case series. Key words: Angiomyolipoma, embolisation, renal
