Представлено современное состояние методики предоперационной эмболизации опухолей позвоночника как эффективного способа снижения интраоперационной кровопотери. Описаны основные особенности сосудистой анатомии позвоночника и спинного мозга, современные показания и противопоказания к проведению данного вмешательства. Проанализирована актуальная литература и приведены результаты исследований, подтверждающие эффективность методики и наличие необходимости актуализации техники выполнения данной процедуры в соответствии с современными наработками в сфере создания новых эмболизирующих агентов. Обзор современной литературы свидетельствует об отсутствии единого мнения о роли трансартериальной эмболизации сосудов опухолей позвоночника в эффективности снижения объёма массивной интраоперационной кровопотери. В литературе нет сравнительного анализа эффективности использования различных эмболизационных агентов. 

The article presents the current use of preoperative embolization of spinal tumors as an effective approach to reduce intraoperative blood loss. The main features of the vascular anatomy of the spine and spinal cord, current indications and contraindications for this intervention are described. The up-to-date literature is analyzed and the results of studies confirming the effectiveness of the technique and the need to update the technique of this procedure in accordance with the latest developments in the field of new embolizing agents are presented. A review of the current literature indicates that there is no consensus on the role of transarterial embolization of spinal tumor vessels in reducing the volume of massive intraoperative blood loss. There is no comparative analysis of the effectiveness of different embolization agents in the literature.
