In addition, the embolization procedure itself had few compli- cations and did not appear to decrease perioperative complica- tions. Given the relative rarity of these tumors, randomized control trials will be difficult to perform. Therefore, future research should focus on standardization of reporting as well as performance of prospective comparative studies.
