    Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor, with a median survival of 15–18 months despite multimodal therapy.

  • 2

    Preoperative evaluation of vascular anatomy through cerebral angiography is crucial for achieving maximal safe resection.

  • 3

    Preoperative embolization of tumor-feeding arteries can reduce intraoperative bleeding and improve surgical orientation.

  • 4

    Embolization carries risks of ischemic injury, necessitating a conservative and safety-oriented approach during the procedure.

  • 5

    The study demonstrates the technical feasibility and safety of preoperative embolization in selected glioblastoma cases.
