The article by Bendszus et al.(1) is most interesting. Their mean time between embolization and surgery was 3 days. I used to embolize meningiomas on the operation table just before making the incision, when feasible, or after opening the patient and isolating the feeding arteries from the main circulation as much as possible (embolizing only the portion of the external artery that proved to be feeding the tumor). Significantly, we found that the otherwise vascular operation from the scalp incision onward was rendered remarkably dry, but only for a few hours after embolization. I do not believe we ever published these observations, and I do not think they were original, but it was most dramatic to note the immediate reduction in all bleeding from the scalp inward after embolization of the tumor bed. This dramatic reduction of vascularity lasted several hours, with a noticeable return of vascularity to the scalp, cranium, and adjacent structures when the tumor was removed. We were convinced that the maximum embolization benefit was immediate and rapidly declined thereafter.
