Embolization in Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Laryngoscope 2023 July
OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) resection between embolized and non-embolized cohorts, and between transarterial embolization (TAE) and direct puncture embolization (DPE).
DATA SOURCES: Per PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for publications prior to or in 2021.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Original English manuscripts investigating the resection of JNA with and without preoperative embolization were included. Embolization type, recurrence rate, complication rates, blood loss, and transfusions were extracted. Risk of bias was assessed by the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions method.
RESULTS: There were 61 studies with 917 patients included. Preoperative embolization was performed in 79.3% of patients. Of those embolized, 75.8% (N = 551) underwent TAE and 15.8% (N = 115) underwent DPE. JNA recurrence in embolized patients was lower than in non-embolized patients (9.3% vs. 14.4%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35, 1.06). DPE resulted in lower rates of disease recurrence (0% vs. 9.5%; OR: 0.066, 95% CI: 0.016, 0.272) and complications (1.8% vs. 21.9%; OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.3) than TAE. A random effects Bayesian model was performed to analyze the difference in mean blood loss in 6 studies that included both embolized and non-embolized patients. This analysis showed a mean reduction in blood loss of 798 mL in the embolized group.
CONCLUSIONS: We found embolization decreases blood loss in JNA resection. DPE led to improved recurrence and complication rates when compared to TAE, but future prospective studies are needed to further evaluate which embolization technique can optimize outcomes in JNA.
