Management of Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Therapy in Elective Degenerative Lumbosacral Spine Surgery: A Clinical Study on 578 Elderly Patients.

Background And Objectives: Managing anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy in elderly patients with high cardiovascular risk undergoing degenerative lumbosacral spine surgery is a complex challenge. Balancing the reduction of thromboembolic events and minimizing bleeding risks requires tailored perioperative strategies. This study evaluates the outcomes of a standardized management approach for such therapies in this vulnerable population.

Percutaneous Vertebroplasty as the Treatment of Choice for Multiple Adjacent Lumbar Atypical Haemangiomas: A Case Report.

Atypical vertebral haemangiomas (VHs) are uncommon lesions that cause lumbar pain and motor symptoms. Current management mainly relies on radiotherapy, surgical spine decompression, or percutaneous techniques. We describe a unique case of a patient with two adjacent lumbar VHs and an underlying lumbar fracture which was treated only by percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV).
