Résumé
Preoperative embolization is used as an endovascular adjunct to surgical resection of meningiomas. However, there is no standardized system to assess the efficacy or extent of embolization during the embolization procedure. We sought to establish a purely angiographic grading system to facilitate consistent reporting of the outcome of meningioma embolization and to characterize the anatomic and other features of meningiomas that predict the degree of devascularization achieved through preoperative embolization. We identified patients with meningiomas who underwent preoperative cerebral angiography and subsequent resection between 2015 and 2021. Demographic, clinical, and imaging data were collected in a research registry. We defined an angiographic devascularization grading scale as follows: grade 0 for no embolization, 1 for partial embolization, 2 for majority embolization, 3 for complete external carotid artery embolization, and 4 for complete embolization. Eighty consecutive patients were included, 60 of whom underwent preoperative tumor embolization (20 underwent angiography with an intention to treat but ultimately not embolization). Embolized tumors were larger (59.0 vs 35.9 cc; P = .03). Gross total resection, length of stay, and complication rates did not differ among groups. The distribution of arterial feeders differed significantly across tumors in a location-specific manner. Both the tumor location and the identity of arterial feeders were predictive of the extent of embolization. Anterior midline meningiomas were associated with internal carotid (ophthalmic, ethmoidal) supply and lower devascularization grades (P = .03). Tumors fed by meningeal feeders (convexity, falcine, lateral sphenoid wing) were associated with higher devascularization grades (P < .01). The procedural complication rate for tumor embolization was 2.5%. Angiographic outcomes can be graded to indicate the extent of tumor embolization. This system may facilitate consistency of reported angiographic results. In addition, arterial feeders vary in a manner predicted by tumor location, and these patterns correlate with typical degrees of devascularization achieved in those tumor locations.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
Preoperative embolization is used as an endovascular adjunct to surgical resection of meningiomas. However, there is no standardized system to assess the efficacy or extent of embolization during the embolization procedure. We sought to establish a purely angiographic grading system to facilitate consistent reporting of the outcome of meningioma embolization and to characterize the anatomic and other features of meningiomas that predict the degree of devascularization achieved through preoperative embolization.
METHODS
METHODS
We identified patients with meningiomas who underwent preoperative cerebral angiography and subsequent resection between 2015 and 2021. Demographic, clinical, and imaging data were collected in a research registry. We defined an angiographic devascularization grading scale as follows: grade 0 for no embolization, 1 for partial embolization, 2 for majority embolization, 3 for complete external carotid artery embolization, and 4 for complete embolization.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Eighty consecutive patients were included, 60 of whom underwent preoperative tumor embolization (20 underwent angiography with an intention to treat but ultimately not embolization). Embolized tumors were larger (59.0 vs 35.9 cc; P = .03). Gross total resection, length of stay, and complication rates did not differ among groups. The distribution of arterial feeders differed significantly across tumors in a location-specific manner. Both the tumor location and the identity of arterial feeders were predictive of the extent of embolization. Anterior midline meningiomas were associated with internal carotid (ophthalmic, ethmoidal) supply and lower devascularization grades (P = .03). Tumors fed by meningeal feeders (convexity, falcine, lateral sphenoid wing) were associated with higher devascularization grades (P < .01). The procedural complication rate for tumor embolization was 2.5%.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Angiographic outcomes can be graded to indicate the extent of tumor embolization. This system may facilitate consistency of reported angiographic results. In addition, arterial feeders vary in a manner predicted by tumor location, and these patterns correlate with typical degrees of devascularization achieved in those tumor locations.
